Williamsburg Square is a one-tract neighborhood of Germantown, MD, population 5,635. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.9/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Germantown baseline of 30.1%, 45% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.4/10.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.8/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.1/10. Average gross rent is $1,810, 11% below the Germantown average of $2,040.
That places it #5 of 12 neighborhoods in Germantown. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $86,460. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
