Charlene spans 5 census tracts of Montgomery Village, MD and houses 28,238 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.1/10, Moderate tier. Against a Montgomery Village baseline of 39.4%, 56% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Scores across the 5 constituent tracts range from 3.7 to 6.4. A 2.7-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.9/10.
At $2,219 a month, rents sit 16% over what the rest of Montgomery Village commands. At 19% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Watkins Mill and Quail Valley score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $109,379.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.7 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
