Columbia Park is a 2-tract neighborhood of Landover, MD, population 7,299. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs roughly one in two against 35.5% citywide, putting Columbia Park 14.3% over its own city.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 8/10.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.6 to 5.6, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Filings are well documented here: 10,599 across 2 observed tracts. 15.3% 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.
Food insecurity affects 29.1% of adults, 11.3 points above the national rate. 10% 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.
The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 307.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 136.4% in 2016, is well off that peak. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1 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.
