Eastfield spans 2 census tracts of Dundalk, MD and houses 6,182 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.9/10, Elevated tier. The severe-burden share is 31%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Cost burden runs 43% against 35.9% citywide, putting Eastfield 7.2% over its own city. Running hot is housing-court posture at 8.1/10.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6.4 to 7.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Dundalk, it ranks #16 by risk, the lower third.
Against average income of $70,030, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
