Kilmarock spans 2 census tracts of Silver Spring, MD and houses 5,890 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 8.1/10, placing it in the High tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Silver Spring rate of 31.2%.
The severe-burden share is 28%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.2/10.
77% 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. Average gross rent is $1,350, 29% below the Silver Spring average of $1,913.
The poverty rate is 25%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10.
Food insecurity affects 26.1% of adults, 8.3 points above the national rate. 17.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Silver Spring, it ranks #6 by risk, the middle third.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.8 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $61,203.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
