Rosemary Hills Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 5,443 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.4/10 · range 7.4–7.4

Rosemary Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Silver Spring, MD, population 5,443. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.4/10, in the Elevated tier. 48% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Silver Spring rate of 31.2%.

This is a renter market: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.8/10. The severe-burden share is 21%. 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 18.8% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Average gross rent is $2,116, 11% above the Silver Spring average of $1,913. That places it #9 of 16 neighborhoods in Silver Spring.

For a like-for-like read, Blair Circle and Seven Oaks score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $98,819.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
