Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Heather Hills
The heaviest input here is supply constraint at 7.3/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Prince George's County average of 6.9 and above the Maryland statewide average of 6.6. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 4 eviction filings here over 3 tracked years, with about 1.3% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 1.6% of renter households in 2011.
The tract is White and Black and ranks around the 11th 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.
