Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Benton Terrace
Against Anne Arundel County at 44.5%, 28% of renters here are cost-burdened. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.
Running hot, local political climate reads 8.9/10. Against the Anne Arundel County average of 5.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.4 points.
SNAP participation runs 5.8% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 8.5% against 17.8% nationally.
9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 35% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 8% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.1/10. Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 1.8 points cooler.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
