Deer Park Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate
2 census tracts · pop 5,458 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.8/10 · range 4.8–7.3
Deer Park Heights spans 2 census tracts of Marlow Heights, MD and houses 5,458 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.8/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs around two-thirds against 41.8% citywide, putting Deer Park Heights 27.8% over its own city.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. Severe burden reaches 33%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 4.8 to 7.3. A 2.5-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.4/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10.
17.2% 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. Food insecurity affects 30.9% of adults, 13.1 points above the national rate.
The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Court records carry 8,213 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
At $1,400 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Marlow Heights commands. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 318.1% of renter households. Judgments average 3.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
