Cherry Hill Eviction Risk: Elevated

3 census tracts · pop 8,443 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.7/10 · range 6.5–8

Cherry Hill takes in 3 census tracts of Baltimore, MD and houses 8,443 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.7/10, in the Elevated tier. SNAP participation is 49.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Cost burden runs 46% against 32.0% citywide, putting Cherry Hill 13.6% over its own city. The poverty rate is 44%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Average gross rent is $806, 39% below the Baltimore average of $1,331. 90% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.1/10. The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 8.1/10.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6.5 to 8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Disability prevalence reaches 43.6% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Among the 157 mapped neighborhoods of Baltimore, it ranks #47 by risk, the upper third.

For a like-for-like read, Ridgely's Delight and O'Donnell Square score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
