Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Berkshire

29% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Prince George's County average of 45.6%. At $2,712 a month, rents run 58% over what the rest of Forestville commands. Annualized rent equals 47% of average household income of $68,646, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

On the high side, local political climate reads 9.1/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, regional political climate reads 9/10.

Food insecurity runs 31.4% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 26.1% against 14.2% nationally.

The voucher gap is 17.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 24 filings here across 4 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2012, when 6.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 4.0% of renter households face a filing.
