Pinefield Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,742 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.8–4.8

Pinefield maps to a single census tract in Waldorf, MD, population 4,742. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 54%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Cost burden runs around two-thirds against 29.1% citywide, putting Pinefield 36.8% over its own city. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.1/10. At $2,654 a month, rents sit 33% over what the rest of Waldorf commands.

The voucher gap is 14.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Among the 8 mapped neighborhoods of Waldorf, it ranks #4 by risk, the middle third. At 8% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

For a like-for-like read, Holly Station and Ballentrae score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $102,585.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
