Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Halfway
55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Washington County average of 42.4%. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.5/10.
Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.3/10. 10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 0.9 points below the Washington County average of 5.4.
That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 21% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.5/10.
Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
Average gross rent is $1,186, close to the Halfway average. Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $77,043.
