Broadway East Eviction Risk: Elevated

3 census tracts · pop 3,406 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.6/10 · range 6.8–8

Broadway East spans 3 census tracts of Baltimore, MD, population 3,406. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.6/10, in the Elevated tier. The severe-burden share is 39%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

61% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Baltimore rate of 32.0%. 24.4% 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.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 32.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.7/10. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.8 to 8, a 1.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. On the high side is economic stress at 7.4/10.

That places it #52 of 157 neighborhoods in Baltimore. The closest comparables inside the same city are Parklane and Wilson Park. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Average gross rent runs $1,262, close to the Baltimore average.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
