Idlewood maps to a single census tract in Baltimore, MD and houses 3,484 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, in the Elevated tier. 53% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Baltimore rate of 32.0%.
The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Average gross rent is $1,606, 21% above the Baltimore average of $1,331.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 3/10. That places it #108 of 157 neighborhoods in Baltimore. The closest comparables inside the same city are Chinatown and Ten Hills.
Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $61,942. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
