The severe-burden share is 31%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. This is a renter market: 87% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1/10.

Average gross rent is $909, 32% below the Baltimore average of $1,331. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 8.7/10.
16.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Food insecurity affects 29.2% of adults, 11.4 points above the national rate. Among the 157 mapped neighborhoods of Baltimore, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
For a like-for-like read, Coppin Heights/Ash-Co-East and Darley Park score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, 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.
