Saint Helena Eviction Risk: Elevated , Dundalk

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Against the Baltimore County average of 5.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.1 points.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8.9/10. At $1,147 a month, rents run 22% under what the rest of Dundalk commands.

The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 13% 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 27.3% against 17.8% nationally.

Housing insecurity runs 21.4% against 14.2% nationally. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Baltimore.

Nationally it ranks #9,043 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 2.3 points hotter.
