27% 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 30%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.4/10. Among the 157 mapped neighborhoods of Baltimore, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Coppin Heights/Ash-Co-East and Darley Park. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $39,896.
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.
