Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Chinatown

This is renter territory: 95% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. At $1,784 a month, rents run 34% over what the rest of Baltimore commands.

Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 57% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Baltimore City average of 50.2%.

Against the Baltimore City average of 6.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7/10. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.1/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $70,297.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
