Waverly maps to a single census tract in Baltimore, MD, population 4,955. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.8/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Baltimore baseline of 32.0%, 49% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1/10. 25% 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.
The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Average gross rent is $951, 29% below the Baltimore average of $1,331. SNAP participation is 30.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Running hot is economic stress at 7.9/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. That places it #41 of 157 neighborhoods in Baltimore.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Fallstaff and Carrollton Ridge. Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
