Severe burden reaches 31%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1/10.
Average gross rent is $946, 29% below the Baltimore average of $1,331. The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

On the high side is economic stress at 7.3/10. Among the 157 mapped neighborhoods of Baltimore, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $45,322. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
