Analysis

What drives eviction risk in West Lanham Hills

The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above 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.

In CDC survey modeling, about 23.0% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 13.6% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 8,044 eviction filings here over 4 tracked years, with about 163.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 177.4% of renter households in 2014.
