Riverside is a one-tract neighborhood of Baltimore, MD and houses 2,596 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $2,345, 76% above the Baltimore average of $1,331.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 19.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Food insecurity affects 4.7% of adults, 13.1 points below the national rate.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for roughly one in three of renter households. 3.2% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
That places it #130 of 157 neighborhoods in Baltimore. Against average income of $156,635, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
