Upper Fell's Point spans 3 census tracts of Baltimore, MD and houses 5,092 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Average gross rent is $1,624, 22% above the Baltimore average of $1,331. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.2 to 6.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
37% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Baltimore rate of 32.0%. SNAP participation is 6.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 9.3% of adults, 8.5 points below the national rate. Among the 157 mapped neighborhoods of Baltimore, it ranks #118 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Abell and Glen.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
