Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.8/10.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.8/10. Filings are well documented here: 95 across 2 observed tracts.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Silver Spring and Kent Corner. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

With little internal variation, 5.2/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
