Huntington South maps to a single census tract in Bowie, MD, population 6,635. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Against a Bowie baseline of 29.6%, 7% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. At $1,694 a month, rents sit 27% under what the rest of Bowie commands. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.3/10.
The filing record is not thin: 11 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 5.8% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 4.5% in 2016 against a 5.8% peak. That places it #4 of 9 neighborhoods in Bowie. At 5% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Overbrook and Hillmeade Manor score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $173,611, annual rent is only 12%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
