Northwood Park spans 2 census tracts of Four Corners, MD and houses 8,348 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. 46% 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.
Against a Four Corners baseline of 27.2%, 51% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.8/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.7 to 5.7, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
The voucher gap is 10.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Only 11% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,558, close to the Four Corners average.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
