Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Berkshire

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 10/10. 30% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. SNAP participation runs 36.2% against 15.2% nationally.

Running hot, local political climate reads 9.1/10. Housing insecurity runs 32.4% against 14.2% nationally.

On the high side, regional political climate reads 9/10. 75% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. At $1,353 a month, rents run 19% under what the rest of Walker Mill commands.

Against the Prince George's County average of 4.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 8,300 filings here across 4 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2014, when 191.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 161.1% of renter households face a filing.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
