Northeast Boundary maps to a single census tract in Seat Pleasant, MD and houses 3,941 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 8/10, in the High tier. 40% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Seat Pleasant rate of 20.8%.
Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10.
16.1% 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 30.2% of adults, 12.4 points above the national rate. Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The filing record is not thin: 624 evictions logged in this tract. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 34.0% of renter households.
Judgments average 1.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $1,329, close to the Seat Pleasant average. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $53,789.
One tract means one number: 8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
