Hamlet North Eviction Risk: Elevated , Gaithersburg

Cost burden runs 60% here against 46.7% across Montgomery County. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.

14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Nationally it ranks #17,650 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $151,667, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the housing type and transport 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 Montgomery County average of 6.0 closely.

Average gross rent is $2,178, close to the Gaithersburg average. 26% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
