Browns Corner maps to a single census tract in Langley Park, MD, population 6,955. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.3/10, High tier. 42% 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.
Against a Langley Park baseline of 31.4%, 56% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10.
52.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9.9/10. 96% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
26.2% 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. The poverty rate is 40%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.7/10.
The filing record is not thin: 3,432 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 59.7% of renter households. At $1,556 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Langley Park commands.
Recent filings have not receded much: 56.6% in 2016 against a 59.7% peak.
One tract means one number: 8.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
