Dodge Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,591 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.7/10 · range 5.7–5.7

Dodge Park maps to a single census tract in Landover, MD and houses 3,591 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.7/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 61% against 35.5% citywide, putting Dodge Park 25.2% over its own city.

Severe burden reaches 35%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

This is a renter market: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Food insecurity affects 33.6% of adults, 15.8 points above the national rate. Running hot is housing-court posture at 8/10.

SNAP participation is 27.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Court records for this tract carry 5,052 eviction filings.

Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 209.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 103.8% in 2016, is well off that peak. At $1,621 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of Landover commands.

Social vulnerability runs high at 9.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.7/10 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.
