Food insecurity affects 39.0% of adults, 21.2 points above the national rate. The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
The dominant input is economic stress at 7.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,578, 19% above the Baltimore average of $1,331.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 3/10. Among the 157 mapped neighborhoods of Baltimore, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

One tract means one number: 8/10 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.
