Walbrook spans 2 census tracts of Baltimore, MD, population 4,588. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8/10, High tier. 41% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
57% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Baltimore rate of 32.0%. Food insecurity affects 45.5% of adults, 27.7 points above the national rate.
Set annual rent against average household income of $35,782 and the ratio lands at 42%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.6/10. The poverty rate is 31%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
On the high side is economic stress at 7.8/10. Disability prevalence reaches 44.9% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
That places it #1 of 157 neighborhoods in Baltimore. For a like-for-like read, Easterwood and Darley Park score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $1,265, close to the Baltimore average.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
