Old Town Eviction Risk: High , Baltimore

At $435 a month, rents run 67% under what the rest of Baltimore commands. SNAP participation runs 63.3% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 56.6% against 17.8% nationally.

The poverty rate is 50%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the high side, economic stress reads 10/10. This is renter territory: 93% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

36% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Baltimore City average of 50.2%. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the Baltimore City average of 6.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points.

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. Nationally it ranks #7,836 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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.
