Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Walbrook

around two-thirds of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Baltimore City average of 50.2%. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 10/10.

SNAP participation runs 55.8% against 15.2% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 38.8% against 14.2% nationally.

Annualized rent equals 43% of average household income of $31,709, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. This is renter territory: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

It sits 1.2 points above the Baltimore City average of 6.8. Average gross rent is $1,134, 15% below the Baltimore average. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Baltimore. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
