La Vale Eviction Risk: Lower

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.1/10. 49% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Allegany County average of 38.9%.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.8/10. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Food insecurity runs 10.0% against 17.8% nationally.

On the softer side, housing-court posture reads 3/10. SNAP participation runs 7.8% against 15.2% nationally.

At $756 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of La Vale commands. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 9% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 3.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 10% of average household income of $86,705, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 2.5 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
