Springbrook Terrace is a one-tract neighborhood of East Riverdale, MD, population 5,232. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.9/10, in the Elevated tier. 32.5% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Cost burden runs 44% against 31.7% citywide, putting Springbrook Terrace 12.1% over its own city. Severe burden reaches 28%.

Food insecurity affects 36.3% of adults, 18.5 points above the national rate. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 8.1/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10.

The filing record is not thin: 1,381 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 53.0% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 50.1% in 2016 against a 53.0% peak.

Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,659, close to the East Riverdale average.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $82,790. 50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 6.9/10 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.
