Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Harwood
26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.4/10.
The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.
On the national scale it lands near the 85th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.6/10. Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.
50% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Baltimore City average of 6.8 closely. Average gross rent is $1,257, close to the Baltimore average.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $59,699. 53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
