Stratton Woods Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,185 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.7/10 · range 5.7–5.7

Stratton Woods is a one-tract neighborhood of North Bethesda, MD and houses 3,185 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. about half of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the North Bethesda rate of 27.4%.

37% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. At $2,919 a month, rents sit 33% over what the rest of North Bethesda commands.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 26.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

SNAP participation is 2.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.6/10.

Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of North Bethesda, it ranks #9 by risk, the lower third. Only 11% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

For a like-for-like read, Lone Oak and Windermere score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $235,938, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.7/10 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.
