Moravia-Walther Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 5,109 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.1/10 · range 5.7–7.8

Moravia-Walther takes in 2 census tracts of Baltimore, MD, population 5,109. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.1/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 45% against 32.0% citywide, putting Moravia-Walther 13.0% over its own city.

The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.7 to 7.8, a 2.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 2.3/10.

The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 21.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

SNAP participation is 24.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. At $1,427 a month, rents sit 7% over what the rest of Baltimore commands.

That places it #75 of 157 neighborhoods in Baltimore. Only 27% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $63,023.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
