Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Oak Crest
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 9.5/10. 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 Laurel eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Prince George's County average of 6.9 and in line with the Maryland statewide average of 6.6. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly Black and ranks around the 54th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,890 eviction filings here over 4 tracked years, with about 66.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 76.6% of renter households in 2014.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
