Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Northwood Park

76% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Montgomery County average of 46.7%. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.8/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.2/10.

On the high side, regional political climate reads 8/10. On the national scale it lands near the 74th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 15% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.2/10.

Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $172,105, an unusually wide affordability cushion. It tracks the Montgomery County average of 6.0 closely. Average gross rent is $2,149, close to the Kemp Mill average.

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