Whiteley maps to a single census tract in Bladensburg, MD, population 4,788. The Eviction Risk Score is 8/10, in the High tier. Against a Bladensburg baseline of 36.9%, 54% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.9/10. 27.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Food insecurity affects 37.2% of adults, 19.4 points above the national rate.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.8/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. 14% 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.
The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The filing record is not thin: 2,062 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 90.2% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 67.5% in 2016 against a 90.2% peak. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $1,677, close to the Bladensburg average. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $69,960.
57% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 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.
