What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.9/10. The voucher gap is 41.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $2,784, 38% above the Ferndale average.

Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 9.2/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. SNAP participation runs 7.0% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 10.1% against 17.8% nationally. 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.

Nationally it ranks #34,278 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 9% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
