Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Palmer Park
The score leans hardest on economic stress at 5.8/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Glenarden, 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 above the Maryland statewide average of 6.6. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly Black and ranks around the 89th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 3,258 eviction filings here over 4 tracked years, with about 119.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 135.6% of renter households in 2011.
