Westminster Eviction Risk: Elevated

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10. It sits 1.8 points above the Carroll County average of 4.6.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.9/10. 33% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Carroll County average of 40.1%. Average gross rent is $1,743, 18% above the Westminster average.

Food insecurity runs 9.5% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 7.1% against 15.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 81st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 1.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport 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.
