Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Towanda-Grantley
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 10/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.
Food insecurity runs 36.1% against 17.8% nationally. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. Set annual rent against average income of $43,138 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Cost burden runs 59% here against 50.2% across Baltimore City.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 20.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. It sits 1.2 points above the Baltimore City average of 6.8.
At $1,151 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Baltimore commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
That is riskier than roughly 91% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
