Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.9/10. That places it #130 of 157 neighborhoods in Baltimore. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $71,660. 55% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
