Blair Circle takes in 3 census tracts of Silver Spring, MD and houses 8,777 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.3/10, in the Elevated tier. This is a renter market: 89% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2.1/10. The severe-burden share is 14%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Disability prevalence reaches 17.1% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
Against a Silver Spring baseline of 31.2%, 36% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. At $2,158 a month, rents sit 13% over what the rest of Silver Spring commands.
That places it #11 of 16 neighborhoods in Silver Spring. Its 3 tracts score within 0.8 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $107,268.
With little internal variation, 7.3/10 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.
