Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Potomac Park
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 9.8/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

In CDC survey modeling, about 32.1% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 17.4% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
The tract is predominantly Hispanic or Latino and ranks around the 73rd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
