Westminster Eviction Risk: Moderate

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.5/10. 54% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Carroll County average of 40.1%. Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10.

It sits 1.3 points above the Carroll County average of 4.6. Housing insecurity runs 6.1% against 14.2% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That is riskier than roughly 77% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $106,310.

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.
