Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Irvington

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 35.9% against 15.2% nationally.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.8/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 20.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Average gross rent is $1,181, 11% below the Baltimore average.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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. On the national scale it lands near the 80th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Baltimore City average of 6.8 closely. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $56,034.

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