· range 5.5–7.6
Fountainhead takes in 2 census tracts of Hagerstown, MD, population 7,765. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.4/10, Elevated tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.
The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.5 to 7.6, a 2.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Against a Hagerstown baseline of 31.1%, about a quarter of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.7/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.4/10. The severe-burden share is 10%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
At $1,222 a month, rents sit 10% over what the rest of Hagerstown commands. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $70,895.
29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
