Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. 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 Kenwood

33% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Baltimore County average of 46.8%. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.9/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.9/10. At $1,464 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Catonsville commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

That is riskier than roughly 77% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.9/10. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $98,750, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Baltimore County average of 5.7 closely.

50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
