Connecticut Avenue Park Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 5,232 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7/10 · range 7–7

Connecticut Avenue Park maps to a single census tract in Wheaton, MD, population 5,232. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 40% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Wheaton rate of 29.1%.

20% 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. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.1/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.3/10.

19.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 8 mapped neighborhoods of Wheaton, it ranks #7 by risk, the lower third. Only 21% 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.

Average gross rent runs $2,202, close to the Wheaton average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $101,829.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
