NoBe District Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,469 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.9/10 · range 5.9–5.9

NoBe District maps to a single census tract in North Bethesda, MD, population 3,469. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.9/10, in the Moderate tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.1/10. Cost burden runs 36% against 27.4% citywide, putting NoBe District 8.3% over its own city. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Food insecurity affects 6.0% of adults, 11.8 points below the national rate. At $2,476 a month, rents sit 13% over what the rest of North Bethesda commands. 4.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of North Bethesda, it ranks #7 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Wickford and Lone Oak.

Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
