Locust Point is a one-tract neighborhood of Baltimore, MD, population 3,457. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $2,257, 70% above the Baltimore average of $1,331.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Disability prevalence reaches 17.6% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
37% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Baltimore rate of 32.0%. The voucher gap is 14.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. SNAP participation is 4.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Among the 157 mapped neighborhoods of Baltimore, it ranks #130 by risk, the lower third. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
