Glenallen maps to a single census tract in Wheaton, MD and houses 6,094 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.7/10, Elevated tier. 58% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Wheaton rate of 29.1%.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.3/10. The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.3/10. Average gross rent is $1,896, 12% below the Wheaton average of $2,163.
17.9% 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 #8 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Connecticut Avenue Park and Wheaton Crest.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $99,404.
54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.7/10 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.
