Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hillen
The dominant input is court filing pressure at 10/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. At $1,167 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Baltimore commands. This ground was mapped A ("Best") 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.
That is riskier than roughly 80% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 4.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 47% of renters. It tracks the Baltimore City average of 6.8 closely.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $69,792. 26% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
