Baltimore Highlands Eviction Risk: Elevated

Set annual rent against average household income of $47,690 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. 17% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 24.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Food insecurity affects 28.1% of adults, 10.3 points above the national rate.

At $1,416 a month, rents sit 6% over what the rest of Baltimore commands. Among the 157 mapped neighborhoods of Baltimore, it ranks #70 by risk, the middle third.

For a like-for-like read, Morrell Park and Uplands score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

58% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 7.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
