Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Billingsley Forest
What moves this score most is rent-control risk at 8.3/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Bensville, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Charles County average of 6.1 and below the Maryland statewide average of 6.6. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
The tract is Black and White and ranks around the 12th 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.
In CDC survey modeling, about 16.7% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 11.6% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
