Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.2/10. The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Food insecurity runs 26.8% against 17.8% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Average gross rent is $1,217, 9% below the Baltimore average. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Baltimore.
