Quail Valley takes in 4 census tracts of Montgomery Village, MD, population 17,819. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.2/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Montgomery Village baseline of 39.4%, 58% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 3/10.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Charlene and Watkins Mill. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
The 4 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.6 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $1,837, close to the Montgomery Village average. 49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 6.2/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
