Coppin Heights/Ash-Co-East Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 1,284 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8/10 · range 8–8

Coppin Heights/Ash-Co-East maps to a single census tract in Baltimore, MD and houses 1,284 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 8/10, in the High tier. The severe-burden share is 48%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Set annual rent against average household income of $20,469 and the ratio lands at 75%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Against a Baltimore baseline of 32.0%, around two-thirds of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. 28.4% 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.

What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 47%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Food insecurity affects 47.2% of adults, 29.4 points above the national rate. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.5/10.

Among the 157 mapped neighborhoods of Baltimore, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Easterwood and Darley Park score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Average gross rent runs $1,276, close to the Baltimore average. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
