Pumphrey Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,809 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.9/10 · range 5.9–5.9

Pumphrey is a one-tract neighborhood of Brooklyn Park, MD, population 3,809. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.9/10, in the Moderate tier. 37% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Brooklyn Park rate of 25.5%.

22% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.9/10.

That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in Brooklyn Park. At 18% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

For a like-for-like read, Arundel Village and Hillcrest score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Average gross rent runs $1,361, close to the Brooklyn Park average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $73,750.

One tract means one number: 5.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
