Woodleigh Eviction Risk: Moderate , Columbia

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10. SNAP participation runs 5.7% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 8.4% against 17.8% nationally.

Against Howard County at 45.4%, roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened. At $1,846 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Columbia commands.

On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4/10. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $168,185, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
