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 Rockwell

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 10/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.9/10.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.8/10. The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Against the Baltimore County average of 5.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.

SNAP participation runs 7.0% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 9.9% against 17.8% nationally. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 18% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $126,667, annual rent is just 17%. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,753, close to the Catonsville average.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
