Carole Highlands Eviction Risk: Elevated , Langley Park

The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 9.9/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Langley Park, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

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.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 4,649 eviction filings here over 4 tracked years, with about 98.6% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 113.7% of renter households in 2011.

In CDC survey modeling, about 40.7% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 21.5% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

For a landlord underwriting a deal here, treat timelines and legal costs as the real risk: Langley Park sits in territory where contested cases drag and tenant defenses are well organized, so airtight notices and screening matter more than usual.
