Cherrywood maps to a single census tract in Laurel, MD, population 3,505. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.7/10, in the Moderate tier. 53% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Laurel rate of 27.3%.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.
Average gross rent is $2,220, 19% above the Laurel average of $1,873. The filing record is not thin: 24 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 6.3% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 2.7% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #5 of 5 neighborhoods in Laurel. At 15% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
The closest comparables inside the same city are High Ridge and Stonewood. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $129,022.
One tract means one number: 4.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
