Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. 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 Canton

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 10/10. Average gross rent is $2,176, 63% above the Baltimore average.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. It sits 1.6 points below the Baltimore City average of 6.8.

Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Food insecurity runs 7.1% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 5.1% against 15.2% nationally. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $149,635, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
