Rognel Heights takes in 2 census tracts of Baltimore, MD, population 4,582. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.4/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. The severe-burden share is 50%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
64% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Baltimore rate of 32.0%. Set annual rent against average household income of $42,291 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.4/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 25.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Food insecurity affects 30.2% of adults, 12.4 points above the national rate.
That places it #65 of 157 neighborhoods in Baltimore. The closest comparables inside the same city are Mosher and Better Waverly.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.8 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $1,264, close to the Baltimore average. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 7.4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
