Baltimore Peninsula Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,645 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.2/10 · range 5.2–5.2

Baltimore Peninsula maps to a single census tract in Baltimore, MD, population 2,645. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. At $2,278 a month, rents sit 71% over what the rest of Baltimore commands.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 30% of renter households.

15% 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. Disability prevalence reaches 17.6% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. The voucher gap is 15.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

SNAP participation is 4.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Among the 157 mapped neighborhoods of Baltimore, it ranks #130 by risk, the lower third.

For a like-for-like read, North Roland Park/Poplar Hill and Roland Park score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $162,500, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 5.2/10 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.
