Heatherwick is a one-tract neighborhood of Brandywine, MD, population 5,404. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.1/10.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 19 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 6.3% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 5.5% in 2016 against a 6.3% peak.
At 3% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 4%, 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.
