Amberfield Eviction Risk: Elevated , Gaithersburg

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.8/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Housing insecurity runs 5.3% against 14.2% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Nationally it ranks #17,650 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 8% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $212,065, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 3%, 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 $2,133, close to the Gaithersburg average.

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.
