Seven Oaks Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 4,398 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.2/10 · range 7.2–7.2

Seven Oaks maps to a single census tract in Silver Spring, MD, population 4,398. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.2/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Silver Spring baseline of 31.2%, about half of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. 17% 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.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.3/10. At $1,693 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Silver Spring commands.

Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Silver Spring, it ranks #11 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Blair Circle and Rosemary Hills. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $93,871. 45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
