Rowland Hill Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 1,078 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.8/10 · range 3.8–3.8

Rowland Hill is a one-tract neighborhood of Fort Ritchie, MD, population 1,078. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.8/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 36% 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 clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.1/10. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 36% of renter households. At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
