Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Mount DeSales

26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.9/10. Cost burden runs 57% here against 46.8% across Baltimore County.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.9/10. At $1,516 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Catonsville commands.
