Perkins Homes maps to a single census tract in Baltimore, MD and houses 1,709 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8/10, in the High tier. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10.
SNAP participation is 44.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Against a Baltimore baseline of 32.0%, about one in five of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The poverty rate is 42%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 24.4% 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.
This is a renter market: 84% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1/10.
Average gross rent is $1,084, 19% below the Baltimore average of $1,331. Severe burden reaches 13%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. That places it #1 of 157 neighborhoods in Baltimore.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $48,438.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
