Quince Orchard Valley maps to a single census tract in Gaithersburg, MD, population 1,942. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.1/10, in the Elevated tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for around a third of renter households. Food insecurity affects 6.4% of adults, 11.4 points below the national rate.
Average gross rent is $2,308, 12% above the Gaithersburg average of $2,058. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. 5.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Among the 15 mapped neighborhoods of Gaithersburg, it ranks #12 by risk, the lower third. At 3% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Amberfield and Lakelands Ridge. Against average income of $159,188, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 6.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
