Armistead Gardens is a 2-tract neighborhood of Baltimore, MD and houses 5,705 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.7/10, in the Elevated tier. SNAP participation is 42.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 41.8% of adults, 24.0 points above the national rate. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $926, 30% below the Baltimore average of $1,331.
The poverty rate is 30%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 67% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. 38% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Baltimore rate of 32.0%.
On the high side is economic stress at 7.2/10. Among the 157 mapped neighborhoods of Baltimore, it ranks #47 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.6 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 7.7/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
