D'Arcy Hills maps to a single census tract in Westphalia, MD and houses 8,870 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 64% against 19.6% citywide, putting D'Arcy Hills 44.2% over its own city.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $2,755, 26% above the Westphalia average of $2,193. 18% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
The voucher gap is 19.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10.
Court records for this tract carry 33 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 31.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 7.8% 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. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
