Castle Manor Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,499 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.1/10 · range 5.1–5.1

Castle Manor is a one-tract neighborhood of Hyattsville, MD, population 4,499. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.1/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 50% against 32.9% citywide, putting Castle Manor 17.4% over its own city.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.9/10. Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 760 evictions logged in this tract.

Average gross rent is $1,605, 13% below the Hyattsville average of $1,835. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 43.4% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 21.0% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Hyattsville, it ranks #4 by risk, the lower third.

The closest comparables inside the same city are College Heights Estates and Queens Chapel Manor. Against average income of $112,736, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.1/10 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.
