Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bolton Hill

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 10/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.8/10.

This is renter territory: 69% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Average gross rent is $1,105, 17% below the Baltimore average. 9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

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. Nationally it ranks #16,571 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 7.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Baltimore City average of 6.8 closely.

Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $67,462.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
