Poppleton is a one-tract neighborhood of Baltimore, MD and houses 3,423 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8/10, in the High tier. 51% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Baltimore rate of 32.0%.
At $539 a month, rents sit 60% under what the rest of Baltimore commands. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 56%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
SNAP participation is 62.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The severe-burden share is 28%. 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: 84% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Disability prevalence reaches 50.1% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
Among the 157 mapped neighborhoods of Baltimore, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Belair-Parkside and Easterwood. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.7/10, 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.
