Newport Hills maps to a single census tract in North Kensington, MD, population 4,246. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
18% 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. Against a North Kensington baseline of 32.7%, 29% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. SNAP participation is 6.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Only 16% 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, Homewood and Rock Creek Palisades score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,872, close to the North Kensington average.
One tract means one number: 5.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
