Montrose maps to a single census tract in Rockville, MD and houses 4,347 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.8/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. about half of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Rockville rate of 30.9%.
73% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.7/10.
Disability prevalence reaches 19.3% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. 4.1% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Rockville, it ranks #4 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Rollins Park and Rockland.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,144, close to the Rockville average.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $103,924.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.8/10 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.
