Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Germantown

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 10/10. Average gross rent is $2,070, 53% above the Germantown average. The voucher gap is 64.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.3/10.

SNAP participation runs 5.1% against 15.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 5 filings here across 4 tracked years.

It sits 0.8 points below the Washington County average of 3.8. Adults with no health insurance runs 4.1% against 11.3% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2009, when 0.4% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 0.5% of renter households face a filing.

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