Holmehurst spans 2 census tracts of Fairwood, MD, population 11,880. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.1/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
The voucher gap is 31.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 8.1/10.
Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Cost burden runs 29% against 34.9% citywide, putting Holmehurst 5.7% under its own city.
Court records carry 56 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 8.5% of renter households. At $3,051 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Fairwood commands.
The most recent observed rate, 1.8% in 2016, is well off that peak. At 8% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.2 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $166,260.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
