Fox Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Potomac, MD and houses 5,737 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number 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. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.
Average gross rent is $3,501, 21% above the Potomac average of $2,887. SNAP participation is 2.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 4.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Potomac, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third. Only 4% 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. The closest comparables inside the same city are Holly Hill and Montgomery Square.
Against average income of $250,001, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 4.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
