Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Beechfield

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 10/10. Severe burden reaches 30%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.8/10.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.8/10. It sits 1.4 points below the Baltimore City average of 6.8.

Average gross rent is $1,544, 16% above the Baltimore average. Housing insecurity runs 21.6% against 14.2% nationally. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Baltimore. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 6.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $68,241.

34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
