This is a renter market: 69% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 30% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,105, 17% below the Baltimore average of $1,331.
The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Severe burden reaches 9%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
That places it #96 of 157 neighborhoods in Baltimore. For a like-for-like read, Hanlon-Longwood and Barclay score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $67,462, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion.
One tract means one number: 6.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
