Manchester Eviction Risk: Elevated , Dundalk

Cost burden runs 83% here against 46.8% across Baltimore County. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 10/10.

Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income of $40,875, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.9/10.

It sits 2.1 points above the Baltimore County average of 5.7. SNAP participation runs 32.1% against 15.2% nationally. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.4/10.

The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Housing insecurity runs 24.7% against 14.2% nationally.

At $1,313 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Dundalk commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 89th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
