Seneca Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,710 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.4/10 · range 4.4–4.4

Seneca Park maps to a single census tract in Bowleys Quarters, MD, population 4,710. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. roughly three in four of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Bowleys Quarters rate of 36.7%.

Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.4/10. At $1,452 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Bowleys Quarters commands. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.6/10.

At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $103,496, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.

One tract means one number: 4.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
