Sherwood Manor Eviction Risk: Lower

16% 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 Bowie baseline of 29.6%, 35% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The filing record is not thin: 8 evictions logged in this tract.

Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 3.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.1% in 2016, is well off that peak.

Among the 9 mapped neighborhoods of Bowie, it ranks #4 by risk, the middle third. At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Overbrook and Hillmeade Manor. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent runs $2,357, close to the Bowie average. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $140,250.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
