Wakefield Eviction Risk: Elevated

The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 81% 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.

Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 16%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 14.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Among the 157 mapped neighborhoods of Baltimore, it ranks #91 by risk, the middle third.

For a like-for-like read, Washington Village/Pigtown and Pen Lucy score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,389, close to the Baltimore average.

Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $58,842.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
