Hampstead Eviction Risk: Moderate

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. Cost burden runs 34% here against 40.1% across Carroll County. Food insecurity runs 8.0% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 6.0% against 15.2% nationally. Nationally it ranks #47,371 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 14% 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 3.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Against average income of $106,146, annual rent is just 15%. Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 1.4 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
