Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Washington Village/Pigtown

On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.2/10.

The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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. That is riskier than roughly 82% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.9/10. Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 54% of renters.

It tracks the Baltimore City average of 6.8 closely.

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