Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Brookside Forest

The severe-burden share is 29%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.

Running hot, regional political climate reads 8/10. SNAP participation runs 6.2% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 9.4% against 17.8% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 79% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 9% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $198,906, annual rent is just 12%.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

44% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Montgomery County average of 6.0 closely. Average gross rent is $2,013, close to the Silver Spring average.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
