Edgewood is a one-tract neighborhood of Baltimore, MD, population 3,270. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8/10, in the High tier. 60% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Baltimore rate of 32.0%.
35% 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. SNAP participation is 41.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Annualized rent equals 42% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. 22.4% 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.
The poverty rate is 32%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 7.9/10.
Average gross rent is $1,665, 25% above the Baltimore average of $1,331. 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 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. 35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
