Ardmore spans 2 census tracts of Glenarden, MD, population 12,223. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. about half of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Glenarden rate of 27.9%.
At $2,386 a month, rents sit 47% over what the rest of Glenarden commands. The voucher gap is 35.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running hot is supply constraint at 8.4/10.
Court records carry 33 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 6.5% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 3.4% in 2016, is well off that peak. At 9% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Ardwick Park and Palmer Park score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
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.
