Mount Vernon is a one-tract neighborhood of Baltimore, MD, population 2,757. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.3/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Baltimore baseline of 32.0%, 55% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
This is a renter market: 87% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 28%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Average gross rent is $1,491, 12% above the Baltimore average of $1,331. Among the 157 mapped neighborhoods of Baltimore, it ranks #66 by risk, the middle third.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
