Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Eastpoint

On the high side, local political climate reads 8.9/10. It sits 2.1 points above the Baltimore County average of 5.7.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.4/10. The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 41% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Baltimore County average of 46.8%. At $1,689 a month, rents run 15% over what the rest of Dundalk commands.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 89% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 2.3 points hotter.

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.
