East Towson Eviction Risk: High

Against the Baltimore County average of 5.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points. Set annual rent against average income of $40,789 and the ratio lands at 40%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10. 66% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Average gross rent is $1,366, 23% below the Towson average.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2/10. Cost burden runs 43% here against 46.8% across Baltimore County. 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.6/10, 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. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most 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.
