Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Chester Grove
What moves this score most is eviction process difficulty at 5.3/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Prince George's County average of 6.9 and below the Maryland statewide average of 6.6. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly Black and ranks around the 31st percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
