Oliver Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 2,190 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8/10 · range 8–8

Oliver is a one-tract neighborhood of Baltimore, MD and houses 2,190 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 8/10, placing it in the High tier. Cost burden runs 55% against 32.0% citywide, putting Oliver 22.9% over its own city.

The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1/10. 27% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

77% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Set annual rent against average household income of $40,755 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Food insecurity affects 38.4% of adults, 20.6 points above the national rate.

21.3% 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. The poverty rate is 27%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Average gross rent is $1,159, 13% below the Baltimore average of $1,331. Among the 157 mapped neighborhoods of Baltimore, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, 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.
