Berea is a one-tract neighborhood of Baltimore, MD, population 757. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 66%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Against a Baltimore baseline of 32.0%, 75% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 54%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
SNAP participation is 50.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 33.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.5/10. At $1,481 a month, rents sit 11% over what the rest of Baltimore commands. That places it #52 of 157 neighborhoods in Baltimore.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. 44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 7.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
