Forest Manor is a 3-tract neighborhood of Forestville, MD and houses 9,301 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.3/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 58% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Forestville rate of 32.8%.
33% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.8 to 6.5, a 1.7-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 24.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Court records carry 21,500 eviction filings across its 3 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. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 486.5% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 276.3% in 2016, is well off that peak. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.7 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
