Lake Potomac is a one-tract neighborhood of Travilah, MD, population 5,422. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, in the Moderate tier. 61% 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.
79% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Travilah rate of 34.8%. What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 10/10.
The voucher gap is 51.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10. SNAP participation is 3.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 3.0% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Only 3% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Against average income of $250,001, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $3,501, close to the Travilah average.
One tract means one number: 5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
