Oakenshawe maps to a single census tract in Baltimore, MD, population 4,908. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8/10, in the High tier. Severe burden reaches 41%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Baltimore rate of 32.0%. Annualized rent equals 50% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 9.5/10. The poverty rate is 38%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
This is a renter market: 81% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.5/10.
That places it #1 of 157 neighborhoods in Baltimore. The closest comparables inside the same city are Coppin Heights/Ash-Co-East and Darley Park.
Average gross rent runs $1,285, close to the Baltimore average.
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.
