Dupont Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of Coral Hills, MD, population 2,124. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 36%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
54% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Coral Hills rate of 41.5%. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9.1/10.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.3/10. This is a renter market: 70% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 23.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,467, 18% below the Coral Hills average of $1,788.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 8,684 evictions logged in this tract.
14.9% 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. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 605.0% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 388.0% in 2016 against a 605.0% peak.
One tract means one number: 5.3/10 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.
