Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Essington
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 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.
In CDC survey modeling, about 16.8% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 10.4% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 516 eviction filings here over 4 tracked years, with about 25.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 51.0% of renter households in 2016.
