Oaklawn is a one-tract neighborhood of Friendly, MD, population 4,197. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.2/10.
Against a Friendly baseline of 28.9%, 23% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The filing record is not thin: 16 evictions logged in this tract. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.8/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 10.6% of renter households. The voucher gap is 10.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $2,561, 11% above the Friendly average of $2,306.
Recent filings have not receded much: 7.6% in 2014 against a 10.6% peak. Only 6% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $110,987.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
