Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Spring Valley

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 10/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10. Food insecurity runs 5.0% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 5.0% against 14.2% nationally.

On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.6/10. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $152,643, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Baltimore County average of 5.7 closely.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
