What drives eviction risk in College Park
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.3/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 512 filings here across 6 tracked years. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 3/10. Filings peaked in 2011 at 23.8% of renter households.
This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Norfolk. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 18.7% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #54,273 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
At 13% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.3/10.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
