Westmore Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 11,109 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.3/10 · range 6.3–6.4

Westmore takes in 2 census tracts of Rockville, MD and houses 11,109 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.3/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Rockville baseline of 30.9%, 51% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

24% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.7/10.

SNAP participation is 5.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $2,536, 12% above the Rockville average of $2,274.

Food insecurity affects 9.5% of adults, 8.3 points below the national rate. Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Rockville, it ranks #7 by risk, the lower third.

For a like-for-like read, Rockland and Broadwood Manor score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.1 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $130,790. 39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

With little internal variation, 6.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
