Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Berkshire
What moves this score most is rent-control risk at 8.7/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

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.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 19 eviction filings here over 4 tracked years, with about 2.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 3.5% of renter households in 2014.
The tract is predominantly Black and ranks around the 67th 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.
