· range 3.8–5.2
Greenwood Forest spans 4 census tracts of Seabrook, MD, population 19,685. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, Moderate tier. 43% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Seabrook rate of 29.6%.
Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.8 to 5.2, a 1.4-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2.6/10.
Court records carry 4,678 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts. At $2,114 a month, rents sit 15% over what the rest of Seabrook commands.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 113.5% of renter households. Judgments average 1.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 27% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $100,702.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
