Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Biddle Street
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 10/10. Food insecurity runs 45.5% against 17.8% nationally. Against Baltimore City at 50.2%, 65% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $39,196, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 25.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 1.0 points above the Baltimore City average of 6.8. Average gross rent is $1,133, 15% below the Baltimore average.
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.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
