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 Eastfield

The severe-burden share is 32%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Against Baltimore County at 46.8%, around a third of renters here are cost-burdened.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.9/10. Average gross rent is $1,157, 21% below the Dundalk average.

Against the Baltimore County average of 5.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points. 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. That is riskier than roughly 81% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 14% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 4.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $81,394, annual rent is just 17%.

Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

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.
