Parkside maps to a single census tract in Baltimore, MD and houses 6,158 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 8/10, in the High tier. 63% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Baltimore rate of 32.0%.
SNAP participation is 46.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 33% 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. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 34.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Set annual rent against average household income of $38,750 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.3/10.
This is a renter market: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The poverty rate is 30%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side is economic stress at 7.5/10.
Average gross rent is $1,242, 7% below the Baltimore average of $1,331. Among the 157 mapped neighborhoods of Baltimore, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Easterwood and Darley Park.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
