Rock Creek Hills Eviction Risk: Moderate , South Kensington

Cost burden runs 75% here against 46.7% across Montgomery County. The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 51.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.8/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.2/10. Food insecurity runs 5.0% against 17.8% nationally.

Against the Montgomery County average of 6.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the national scale it lands near the 67th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 14% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, 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.
