Murray Hill maps to a single census tract in Oxon Hill, MD and houses 2,958 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4/10, in the Moderate tier. 26% 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 main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.5/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10. The filing record is not thin: 4,729 evictions logged in this tract.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 34% of renter households. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.9/10. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 182.3% of renter households.
That places it #2 of 4 neighborhoods in Oxon Hill. Judgments average 2.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,819, close to the Oxon Hill average. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $82,014.
46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
