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 Perkins Homes

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 44.2% against 15.2% nationally. Running hot, economic stress reads 10/10.

The poverty rate is 42%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 84% 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.

Housing insecurity runs 33.2% against 14.2% nationally. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

It sits 1.2 points above the Baltimore City average of 6.8. Average gross rent is $1,084, 19% below the Baltimore average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

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 8.7/10, 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.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
