Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Westminster

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.5/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.1/10. The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. It sits 1.7 points above the Carroll County average of 4.6.

At $1,190 a month, rents run 19% under what the rest of Westminster commands. Food insecurity runs 8.8% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 6.7% against 15.2% nationally.

Nationally it ranks #16,571 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 4.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
