The Dingle Eviction Risk: Lower , Cumberland

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.2/10. Against Allegany County at 38.9%, about half of renters here are cost-burdened.

11% 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 9.7% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 7.3% against 15.2% nationally. Running cool, housing-court posture reads 3/10. Average gross rent is $944, 8% above the La Vale average.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.7/10.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $66,958, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 2.5 points cooler.

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