Coldstream-Homestead-Montebello is a 2-tract neighborhood of Baltimore, MD, population 5,545. The Eviction Risk Score is 8/10, in the High tier. Against a Baltimore baseline of 32.0%, 68% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

SNAP participation is 51.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 47.4% of adults, 29.6 points above the national rate. Set annual rent against average household income of $41,450 and the ratio lands at 48%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

32% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 31%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $1,668, 25% above the Baltimore average of $1,331.

What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 7.7/10. That places it #1 of 157 neighborhoods in Baltimore.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Coppin Heights/Ash-Co-East and Darley Park. Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
