Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Parkside

Food insecurity runs 43.5% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 46.7% against 15.2% nationally.

Severe burden reaches 33%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Cost burden runs 63% here against 50.2% across Baltimore City.

Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $38,750, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.8/10.

71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.3/10. The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Against the Baltimore City average of 6.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Baltimore. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

That is riskier than roughly 91% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 7.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 2.5 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
