Average gross rent is $1,165, 12% below the Baltimore average of $1,331. That places it #77 of 157 neighborhoods in Baltimore. At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $53,430.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7/10 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.
