Newport Hills Eviction Risk: Moderate , North Kensington

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.8/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Running hot, local political climate reads 8.2/10. SNAP participation runs 6.4% against 15.2% nationally.

Against the Montgomery County average of 6.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. Food insecurity runs 10.7% against 17.8% nationally.

On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 16% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $1,872, close to the North Kensington average.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
