Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hagerstown

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.9/10. Against the Washington County average of 5.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.5 points.

The severe-burden share is 29%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.5/10.

SNAP participation runs 35.1% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Housing insecurity runs 26.4% against 14.2% nationally.

Running hot, housing-court posture reads 7.7/10. That is riskier than roughly 90% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $1,042, close to the Hagerstown average.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
