Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sligo Park Hills

29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8/10.

Disability prevalence runs 19.4% against 31.5% nationally. Food insecurity runs 8.0% against 17.8% nationally.

On the national scale it lands near the 79th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 16% 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 2.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $179,837, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 50% of renters. It tracks the Montgomery County average of 6.0 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,965, close to the Silver Spring 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.
