Woodrock is a one-tract neighborhood of Potomac, MD and houses 5,356 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 51%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
58% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Potomac rate of 27.3%. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 23.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 3.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Disability prevalence reaches 16.8% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Running hot is supply constraint at 7.4/10.
Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Potomac, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third. At 6% 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 Montgomery Square score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $250,001, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,861, close to the Potomac average.
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.
