West End Park Eviction Risk: Moderate , Rockville

At $3,054 a month, rents run 34% over what the rest of Rockville commands. The voucher gap is 32.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 8.2/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Food insecurity runs 7.6% against 17.8% nationally. Cost burden runs 42% here against 46.7% across Montgomery County. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Nationally it ranks #19,618 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 20% 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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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