19.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #1 of 16 neighborhoods in Silver Spring. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $81,488. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 8.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
