Brightwood Park Eviction Risk: High , Washington

The score leans hardest on state political climate at 9.5/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 9.5/10.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.5/10. 24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

67% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Average gross rent is $1,456, 25% below the Washington average. It sits 1.2 points above the District of Columbia average of 8.7.

SNAP participation runs 26.0% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

The filing record is not thin: 2,776 evictions over 7 years of observation. Food insecurity runs 26.1% against 17.8% nationally.

Filings peaked in 2009 at 39.1% of renter households.

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.
