Germantown Eviction Risk: Lower

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 216 evictions over 18 years of observation.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.9/10. The worst year on record was 2009, when 3.8% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 1.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 40% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 38% of renters.

It tracks the Washington County average of 3.8 closely. Average gross rent is $1,285, close to the Germantown average.

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