Barclay maps to a single census tract in Baltimore, MD, population 1,590. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.3/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1/10.
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.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 26.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 31.6% of adults, 13.8 points above the national rate.
At $1,142 a month, rents sit 14% under what the rest of Baltimore commands. Cost burden runs 36% against 32.0% citywide, putting Barclay 4.1% over its own city. Among the 157 mapped neighborhoods of Baltimore, it ranks #96 by risk, the middle third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Hanlon-Longwood and Bolton Hill. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $65,292.
One tract means one number: 6.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
