Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Pinefield

66% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Charles County average of 36.2%. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.9/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.1/10.

Average gross rent is $2,654, 33% above the Waldorf average. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.3/10. The voucher gap is 14.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 8% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Charles County average of 4.3 closely.

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.
