Cross Keys Eviction Risk: Moderate , Baltimore

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. Against the Baltimore City average of 6.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.6 points.

Food insecurity runs 5.4% against 17.8% nationally. Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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.

That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 54% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

Average gross rent is $1,382, close to the Baltimore average.

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.
