Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Bellewood
On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.6/10. Cost burden runs roughly one in four here against 36.2% across Charles County.
The severe-burden share is 13%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.3/10. It sits 0.8 points above the Charles County average of 4.3.
Average gross rent is $1,810, 9% below the Waldorf average. That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 23% 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 5.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $98,397.
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.
