Eastpoint maps to a single census tract in Dundalk, MD, population 4,704. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.8/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 8.4/10.
On the high side is housing-court posture at 8.1/10. The poverty rate is 25%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.6/10.
41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Dundalk rate of 35.9%. Average gross rent is $1,689, 15% above the Dundalk average of $1,473.
Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Dundalk, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Graceland and Saint Helena score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $85,500.
One tract means one number: 7.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
