Fairfield Area Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 11 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.7/10 · range 6.7–6.7

Fairfield Area is a one-tract neighborhood of Baltimore, MD, population 11. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.7/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 9.5/10.

The poverty rate is 38%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 83% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

That places it #84 of 157 neighborhoods in Baltimore.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
