What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 9.1/10. The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10.
SNAP participation is 29.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Disability prevalence reaches 44.5% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Clarksburg, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. At 28% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Business District and Summit Park score within a fraction of it.
Average gross rent runs $828, close to the Clarksburg average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $42,417.
One tract means one number: 4.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
