Glemont Forest spans 2 census tracts of Wheaton, MD, population 7,974. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.5/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 61% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Wheaton rate of 29.1%.
Severe burden reaches 30%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 24.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 7.3/10.
Food insecurity affects 31.3% of adults, 13.5 points above the national rate. The poverty rate is 16%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. That places it #4 of 8 neighborhoods in Wheaton.
At 18% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Holiday Park and Glen Haven score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Its 2 tracts score within 0.2 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $2,260, close to the Wheaton average.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $112,088.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
