Beechfield Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,060 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.4–5.4

Beechfield is a one-tract neighborhood of Baltimore, MD and houses 4,060 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 77% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Baltimore rate of 32.0%.

30% 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. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.8/10. At $1,544 a month, rents sit 16% over what the rest of Baltimore commands.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.9/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 21.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. That places it #126 of 157 neighborhoods in Baltimore.

The closest comparables inside the same city are West Forest Park and Cedmont. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $68,241.

34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
