Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Frankford

69% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Baltimore City average of 50.2%. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 10/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.8/10.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.1/10. Against the Baltimore City average of 6.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points.

SNAP participation runs 23.2% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 25.3% against 17.8% nationally.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Baltimore. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. Nationally it ranks #23,808 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 25% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.8/10.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
