Dharma verdict

68–78. Undervalued, at the margin.

Recommendation: watch. A gap of +11 — residual sourced suppression, real but modest. Monitor the conditions that would widen or close it. (Gap +11)

What's holding the 62 down

Home-appraisal devaluation

Mortgage-denial gap at equal income

Trust is a core axis of this thesis, not a footnote. High capital with low trust is exactly the pattern the Suppression Weight is built to surface — the Dharma Zone is where capital and trust move together.

LATENTlow capital · high trust

Trust is high but capital hasn’t arrived yet — the upside the thesis chases.

DHARMA ZONEhigh capital · high trust

Capital and community trust move together — the healthy target state.

SUPPRESSEDlow capital · low trust

Both capital and trust are held down — the starting condition suppression creates.

EXTRACTIVEhigh capital · low trust

Money is flowing in but the community doesn’t trust it — value is pulled out, not built.

v1 placeholder calibration (rho=0.80, ceiling=100). No headlineBand pinned (no external pitch value supplied); the engine derives the band from mean confidence. cc=62 is grounded in Census ACS median household income (~$90,879, 2018-2022 5-year estimate, ~122% of the national median of ~$74,580) and a homeownership rate (~72%) well above the national average (~65%) — one of the highest-income majority-Black counties in the US. quadrant.capital/trust are a qualitative placement, refine with the content owner. Two candidate factors were researched and dropped under the kill rule as near-baseline for the county's income level (CDC PLACES health outcomes; Census undercount) and a legacy-redlining/HOLC factor was dropped as a weak historical fit (most of the county was not developed, and so not HOLC-graded, until post-1970s Black suburbanization) — see docs/dharma-lens-v2/places/prince-georges-county-md.md for the full kill-rule notes.
