Malvern Eviction Risk: Moderate , Towson

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.7/10.

Food insecurity runs 4.7% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 2.9% against 15.2% nationally. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

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 65% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.8/10. Rent consumes only 11% of average household income of $208,466, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. 45% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Baltimore County average of 5.7 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,831, close to the Towson average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
