Port Covington maps to a single census tract in Baltimore, MD and houses 1,416 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, Moderate tier. At $2,105 a month, rents sit 58% over what the rest of Baltimore commands.
72% 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. The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Disability prevalence reaches 17.8% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 35% of renter households. 5.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Among the 157 mapped neighborhoods of Baltimore, it ranks #130 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are North Roland Park/Poplar Hill and Roland Park.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $104,716.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
