Greater Capitol Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate

The severe-burden share is 35%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. Average gross rent is $1,630, 25% above the Capitol Heights average of $1,306.

On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.6/10. Court records carry 2,077 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. 15.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Food insecurity affects 29.1% of adults, 11.3 points above the national rate. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 78.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 26.6% in 2016, is well off that peak.

Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 2 tracts score within 0.3 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $92,200. 38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
