Seneca Park Eviction Risk: Elevated , Germantown

Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.4/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.2/10.

41% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Montgomery County average of 46.7%. It sits 0.9 points above the Montgomery County average of 6.0.

Average gross rent is $1,778, 13% below the Germantown average. That is riskier than roughly 84% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 17% 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 8.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $86,696.

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.
