Biddle Street Eviction Risk: Elevated , Baltimore

The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.8/10.

Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $42,917, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.2/10.

SNAP participation runs 27.3% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

At $1,216 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Baltimore commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. Nationally it ranks #14,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.1/10. Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
