Milton-Montford Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 4,349 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.7/10 · range 6.7–8

Milton-Montford spans 2 census tracts of Baltimore, MD, population 4,349. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.7/10, in the Elevated tier. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.1/10.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 31.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Food insecurity affects 38.6% of adults, 20.8 points above the national rate. Cost burden runs 42% against 32.0% citywide, putting Milton-Montford 9.6% over its own city.

Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 8.6/10. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 6.7 to 8. A 1.3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. At $1,112 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Baltimore commands.

That places it #47 of 157 neighborhoods in Baltimore. The closest comparables inside the same city are Ridgely's Delight and O'Donnell Square. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $44,229.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
