Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Billingsley Forest

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.9/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.3/10.

The severe-burden share is 17%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.3/10. The voucher gap is 16.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 5% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Charles County average of 4.3 closely.

Average gross rent is $2,686, close to the Bensville average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $150,313.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
