Frankford spans 3 census tracts of Baltimore, MD and houses 13,296 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.3/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 53% against 32.0% citywide, putting Frankford 21.3% over its own city.
The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.4/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.5 to 7.3, a 1.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
15.8% 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. SNAP participation is 25.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
At $1,229 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Baltimore commands. Among the 157 mapped neighborhoods of Baltimore, it ranks #96 by risk, the middle third. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $63,218.
50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
