Silver Hill Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,764 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.8–4.8

Silver Hill Park maps to a single census tract in Hillcrest Heights, MD and houses 3,764 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 55% against 29.5% citywide, putting Silver Hill Park 25.1% over its own city.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. 26% 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. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.5/10.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.9/10. Court records for this tract carry 3,161 eviction filings.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 21.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 100.6% of renter households.

Judgments average 3.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,585, close to the Hillcrest Heights average.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $76,907. 51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 4.8/10 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.
