Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wellwood

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 10/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.2/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.5/10.

Food insecurity runs 9.9% against 17.8% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,466, 14% below the Pikesville average. SNAP participation runs 7.4% against 15.2% nationally.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.9/10. Against average income of $110,875, annual rent is just 16%. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Baltimore County average of 5.7 closely.

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