Towson Park Eviction Risk: High

Against the Baltimore County average of 5.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points. This is renter territory: 86% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Against Baltimore County at 46.8%, 59% of renters here are cost-burdened. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10. The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.1/10. At $1,985 a month, rents run 13% over what the rest of Towson commands. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 91% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 2.5 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.
