Parkland Terrace maps to a single census tract in Suitland, MD, population 4,555. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs roughly one in two against 33.4% citywide, putting Parkland Terrace 15.2% over its own city.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. 74% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2/10. 16.4% 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. Court records for this tract carry 15,108 eviction filings.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 272.3% of renter households. SNAP participation is 23.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Recent filings have not receded much: 202.7% in 2016 against a 272.3% peak. That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in Suitland.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Bradbury Park and Parkland. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,610, close to the Suitland average.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
