Parkland spans 2 census tracts of Suitland, MD, population 8,161. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.6/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Suitland baseline of 33.4%, 63% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. The severe-burden share is 25%. 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 economic stress, at 1.9/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 24.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.2, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.2/10.
Court records carry 10,141 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Food insecurity affects 26.9% of adults, 9.1 points above the national rate.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 248.6% of renter households. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Suitland, it ranks #3 by risk, the lower third.
Judgments average 3.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Arnold Heights and Bradbury Park score within a fraction of it.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.2 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.
