Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Willow Glen

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 10/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.9/10.

Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. This is renter territory: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.

Against the Baltimore County average of 5.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Average gross rent is $1,305, 11% below the Lochearn average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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.

That is riskier than roughly 85% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.4/10.

Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter. Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $49,170.

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.
