Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Potomac Grove

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.8/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

Running hot, local political climate reads 8.2/10. SNAP participation runs 3.3% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 6.1% against 17.8% nationally.

Against the Montgomery County average of 6.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. 8% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 11% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.7/10. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $177,768, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
