Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Harlow
The voucher gap is 51.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.8/10. Against the Montgomery County average of 6.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.5 points.
Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Against Montgomery County at 46.7%, 37% of renters here are cost-burdened.
SNAP participation runs 3.4% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 6% 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 1.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 2.0 points cooler.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
