Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Woodrock

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.8/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

Against Montgomery County at 46.7%, 58% of renters here are cost-burdened. The voucher gap is 23.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Food insecurity runs 4.2% against 17.8% nationally. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.2/10. Housing insecurity runs 3.9% against 14.2% nationally.

Against the Montgomery County average of 6.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points. That is riskier than roughly 59% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 5% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 1.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $250,001, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent is $2,861, close to the Potomac average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
