Oakview spans 2 census tracts of Adelphi, MD and houses 5,625 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.1/10, in the Elevated tier. 59% 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 Adelphi baseline of 33.8%, 70% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Average gross rent is $2,764, 53% above the Adelphi average of $1,804.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4 to 7.2, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The voucher gap is 19.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 7.3/10. 22.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Filings are well documented here: 579 across 2 observed tracts. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 21.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Running hot is supply constraint at 7/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 51.6% of renter households. Judgments average 1.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
For a like-for-like read, Adelphi Park and Avenel score within a fraction of it.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 3.2 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.
