Montgomery Square is a one-tract neighborhood of Potomac, MD, population 6,314. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, 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. 14% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well below the Potomac rate of 27.3%.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10. At $3,501 a month, rents sit 21% over what the rest of Potomac commands.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Disability prevalence reaches 18.2% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Potomac, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third. At 13% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Holly Hill and Copenhaver score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $246,090, 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.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
