What drives eviction risk in Belvil Park
What moves this score most is economic stress at 4.5/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

In CDC survey modeling, about 12.8% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 11.3% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 45th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
For a landlord, this is among the easier places to operate: faster process, lighter tenant-protection overhead, and shorter typical cases.
