Huntington Eviction Risk: Moderate , Columbia

Against Howard County at 45.4%, 29% of renters here are cost-burdened. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Disability prevalence runs 18.2% against 31.5% nationally.

Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Food insecurity runs 7.0% against 17.8% nationally. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $172,688, annual rent is just 13%. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 1%, 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 $1,893, close to the Columbia average. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
