Chase Eden Eviction Risk: Moderate , Columbia

Against Howard County at 45.4%, 31% of renters here are cost-burdened. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. SNAP participation runs 7.0% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 9.7% against 17.8% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 74% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 3.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.

It tracks the Howard County average of 5.3 closely. Average gross rent is $1,998, close to the Columbia average.

Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $122,334. 46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
