Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Yorktown

What moves this score most is rent-control risk at 6.4/10. 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 Bowie eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Prince George's County average of 6.9 and below the Maryland statewide average of 6.6. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

The tract is Black and White and ranks around the 34th 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.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 11 eviction filings here over 4 tracked years, with about 1.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 1.8% of renter households in 2016.

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