Overbrook maps to a single census tract in Bowie, MD and houses 4,008 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. 54% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Bowie rate of 29.6%.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.3/10. The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The voucher gap is 19.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Average gross rent is $2,772, 19% above the Bowie average of $2,330. The filing record is not thin: 7 evictions logged in this tract.
On the high side is supply constraint at 7/10. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 1.7% of renter households. SNAP participation is 6.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Recent filings have not receded much: 2.3% in 2016 against a 1.7% peak. Among the 9 mapped neighborhoods of Bowie, it ranks #4 by risk, the middle third. At 6% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
