Milhill Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 2,002 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8/10 · range 8–8

Milhill is a one-tract neighborhood of Baltimore, MD, population 2,002. The Eviction Risk Score is 8/10, in the High tier. 42% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

Cost burden runs 50% against 32.0% citywide, putting Milhill 18.0% over its own city. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 46%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Annualized rent equals 45% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.2/10. This is a renter market: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Disability prevalence reaches 52.7% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. 21.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

At $1,221 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Baltimore commands. That places it #1 of 157 neighborhoods in Baltimore.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Easterwood and Darley Park. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

One tract means one number: 8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
