Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Pinefield

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 6.5/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Waldorf eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Charles County average of 6.1 and in line with 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 32nd 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 15.4% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 10.2% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
