Hyde Park maps to a single census tract in Essex, MD and houses 2,297 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs about half against 33.8% citywide, putting Hyde Park 15.4% over its own city.
At $1,958 a month, rents sit 48% over what the rest of Essex commands. Severe burden reaches 29%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.4/10. Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Essex, it ranks #11 by risk, the lower third.
At 27% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $134,861, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 4.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
