Hillside maps to a single census tract in Coral Hills, MD, population 3,365. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. Against a Coral Hills baseline of 41.5%, roughly three in four of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 34%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.1/10.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.9/10. Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.6/10. Court records for this tract carry 3,230 eviction filings.
15.2% 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 28.0% of adults, 10.2 points above the national rate. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 261.7% of renter households.
At $1,608 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Coral Hills commands. Recent filings have not receded much: 205.0% in 2016 against a 261.7% peak. That places it #3 of 4 neighborhoods in Coral Hills.
At 20% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Dupont Heights and Boulevard Heights.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
