Eagle Ridge is a one-tract neighborhood of Potomac, MD and houses 5,374 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10.
The voucher gap is 51.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. 27% 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.
about a quarter of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Average gross rent is $3,501, 21% above the Potomac average of $2,887.
SNAP participation is 3.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 3.0% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That places it #2 of 10 neighborhoods in Potomac.
Only 6% 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. Against average income of $250,001, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
