Oakview maps to a single census tract in Silver Spring, MD, population 2,205. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.4/10, High tier. Against a Silver Spring baseline of 31.2%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
This is a renter market: 91% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 30% 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.
Set annual rent against average household income of $71,507 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Food insecurity affects 26.8% of adults, 9.0 points above the national rate.
Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Silver Spring, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Northwest Park and Browns Corner score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,938, close to the Silver Spring average.
One tract means one number: 8.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
