Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Washington Highlands
Average gross rent is $1,145, 41% below the Washington average. 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.
84% 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. The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 24.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the District of Columbia average of 8.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Court records carry 7,181 eviction filings across 7 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2008 at 99.4% 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.
