Brandywine Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,662 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.2/10 · range 3.2–3.2

Brandywine Heights maps to a single census tract in Brandywine, MD and houses 5,662 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.8/10.

Running cool is economic stress, at 2.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 25 evictions logged in this tract.

Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 4.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.8% in 2016, is well off that peak. At 2% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
