Potomac Springs maps to a single census tract in Rockville, MD, population 3,907. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.

That places it #10 of 10 neighborhoods in Rockville. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
