Woodside Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Silver Spring, MD, population 5,502. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.1/10, in the Elevated tier. 39% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Against a Silver Spring baseline of 31.2%, 61% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.8/10.
At $1,562 a month, rents sit 18% under what the rest of Silver Spring commands. Food insecurity affects 5.4% of adults, 12.4 points below the national rate.
4.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #13 of 16 neighborhoods in Silver Spring.
Rent takes 12% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
