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 Howard Park

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 36.1% against 15.2% nationally.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.8/10.

Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Housing insecurity runs 27.4% against 14.2% nationally. It sits 0.9 points below the Baltimore City average of 6.8.

At $1,153 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Baltimore commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. Nationally it ranks #19,618 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 16% 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. Social vulnerability reads 7.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Against average income of $81,528, annual rent is just 17%.

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.
