Steward Manor is a one-tract neighborhood of Laurel, MD, population 2,251. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Laurel baseline of 27.3%, about half of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. 83% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.3/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Court records for this tract carry 1,592 eviction filings. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.7/10. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 73.4% of renter households.
Food insecurity affects 26.1% of adults, 8.3 points above the national rate. Average gross rent is $1,690, 10% below the Laurel average of $1,873. Recent filings have not receded much: 53.9% in 2016 against a 73.4% peak.
That places it #1 of 5 neighborhoods in Laurel. The closest comparables inside the same city are Oak Crest and Stonewood.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
