Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Green Castle Lakes

77% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Montgomery County average of 46.7%. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.8/10. 100% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.3/10. It sits 2.3 points above the Montgomery County average of 6.0.

Set annual rent against average income of $56,631 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.2/10. Housing insecurity runs 23.8% against 14.2% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That is riskier than roughly 92% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.5/10.

Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 2.8 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

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