Fort Washington Eviction Risk: Lower

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.4/10. Against the Montgomery County average of 4.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points.

Against Montgomery County at 42.6%, about half of renters here are cost-burdened. 10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Court records carry 21 eviction filings across 7 observed years.

At $1,722 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Fort Washington commands. The worst year on record was 2002, when 4.4% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.3% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 25% 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.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
