Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Featherbed

On the high side, local political climate reads 9.1/10. This is renter territory: 69% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.5/10.

Cost burden runs 41% here against 46.8% across Baltimore County. 9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Food insecurity runs 26.0% against 17.8% nationally.

Housing insecurity runs 21.6% against 14.2% 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $76,534.

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