· range 4.4–6
Carrington spans 4 census tracts of Waldorf, MD, population 20,280. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.3/10, Moderate tier. The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.4 to 6, a 1.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
16% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Cost burden runs 35% against 29.1% citywide, putting Carrington 5.9% over its own city.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.8/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 3/10.
At $1,855 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of Waldorf commands. That places it #2 of 8 neighborhoods in Waldorf. For a like-for-like read, Bellewood and Billingsley Park score within a fraction of it.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $95,332. 38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
