Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Darley Park

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 10/10. Food insecurity runs 56.4% against 17.8% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 33.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the high side, economic stress reads 10/10. The poverty rate is 44%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. It sits 1.2 points above the Baltimore City average of 6.8.

Average gross rent is $1,109, 17% below the Baltimore average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. That is riskier than roughly 91% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 6.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
