Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Montgomery Square

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 51.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.8/10.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. SNAP participation runs 3.1% against 15.2% nationally. At $3,501 a month, rents run 21% over what the rest of Potomac commands.

Against the Montgomery County average of 6.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points. Housing insecurity runs 5.3% against 14.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 59th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 13% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.7/10.

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.
