Boxwood Village is a one-tract neighborhood of Greenbelt, MD and houses 3,870 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.4/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs roughly three in four against 32.5% citywide, putting Boxwood Village 42.7% over its own city.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.9/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. The filing record is not thin: 3,522 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 87.8% of renter households. At $1,634 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Greenbelt commands. Recent filings have not receded much: 83.7% in 2016 against a 87.8% peak.
Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $69,019. 48% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.4/10 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.
