Westchester is a one-tract neighborhood of Woodlawn, MD, population 7,197. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 42%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. At $1,729 a month, rents sit 18% over what the rest of Woodlawn commands.
The main counterweight is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. Cost burden runs about half against 47.3% citywide, putting Westchester 3.7% over its own city.
Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Woodlawn, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third. Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
