Montgomery Eviction Risk: Moderate

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 76% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

The poverty rate is 33%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. Average gross rent is $785, 28% below the Montgomery average.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10. It sits 1.0 points above the Montgomery County average of 4.0.

Adults with no health insurance runs 20.3% against 11.3% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 206 filings here across 9 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2007 at 9.1% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 7.1% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 61st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
