Pleasant Run maps to a single census tract in Gaithersburg, MD and houses 3,471 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 8.2/10, placing it in the High tier. 54% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Gaithersburg rate of 29.5%.
Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.
75% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10.
Food insecurity affects 26.0% of adults, 8.2 points above the national rate. 17.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #3 of 15 neighborhoods in Gaithersburg.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Walnut Hill and Oakmont Manor. Average gross rent runs $2,105, close to the Gaithersburg average.
Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $86,746.
One tract means one number: 8.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
