Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Crystal Springs

Against Prince George's County at 45.6%, 80% of renters here are cost-burdened.

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 10/10. The poverty rate is 69%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 10/10.
