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 Grove Park

67% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Baltimore City average of 50.2%. 31% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. SNAP participation runs 34.8% against 15.2% nationally.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.8/10.

Average gross rent is $946, 29% below the Baltimore average. Food insecurity runs 33.5% against 17.8% nationally.

The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 1.2 points above the Baltimore City average of 6.8.

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 #7,836 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
