La Plata Eviction Risk: Lower

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.9/10. Average gross rent is $2,692, 73% above the La Plata average. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

Against Charles County at 36.2%, 43% of renters here are cost-burdened. It sits 1.1 points below the Charles County average of 4.3.

SNAP participation runs 5.8% against 15.2% nationally. The voucher gap is 16.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Food insecurity runs 8.7% against 17.8% nationally. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.3/10. That is riskier than roughly 25% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 7% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 2.3 points cooler.

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.
