Arnold Heights Eviction Risk: Lower
1 census tracts · pop 3,957 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.5/10 · range 3.5–3.5
Arnold Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of Suitland, MD and houses 3,957 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.5/10, placing it in the Lower tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10.
This is a renter market: 69% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.7/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.7/10.
Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Court records for this tract carry 9,669 eviction filings. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
roughly one in three of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 259.9% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,557, 9% below the Suitland average of $1,707.
Recent filings have not receded much: 249.1% in 2016 against a 259.9% peak. That places it #4 of 4 neighborhoods in Suitland. The closest comparables inside the same city are Parkland and Bradbury Park.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
