1 census tracts · pop 1,453 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.6/10 · range 5.6–5.6

Arcadia is a one-tract neighborhood of Baltimore, MD and houses 1,453 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $2,075, 56% above the Baltimore average of $1,331.

Severe burden reaches 31%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. 31% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Among the 157 mapped neighborhoods of Baltimore, it ranks #118 by risk, the lower third.

Only 16% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $97,366.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
