The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. On the high side is supply constraint at 8.5/10.
Against a Lowes Island baseline of 28.1%, 35% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation is 3.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Average gross rent is $3,123, 10% above the Lowes Island average of $2,840. Judgments average 2.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 8% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 0%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
