Biddle Street spans 2 census tracts of Baltimore, MD and houses 4,128 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.3/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Baltimore baseline of 32.0%, 59% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 32%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. SNAP participation is 37.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.1/10.
Set annual rent against average household income of $40,988 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 20.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.7 to 7.8, a 1.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Average gross rent is $1,173, 12% below the Baltimore average of $1,331. Among the 157 mapped neighborhoods of Baltimore, it ranks #66 by risk, the middle third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Carroll-South Hilton and Saint Josephs. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
