Queenstown maps to a single census tract in Mount Rainier, MD, population 3,166. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.1/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Mount Rainier baseline of 28.3%, 49% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. 99% 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 23%. 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 1.8/10.
23.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 25.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.3/10. Court records for this tract carry 3,317 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 91.6% of renter households.
Average gross rent is $1,581, 9% above the Mount Rainier average of $1,457. Recent filings have not receded much: 64.3% in 2016 against a 91.6% peak. Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
