Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Reservoir Hill

Severe burden reaches 34%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. SNAP participation runs 39.0% against 15.2% nationally.

Set annual rent against average income of $24,630 and the ratio lands at 49%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 9.6/10.

The poverty rate is 38%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 83% 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. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Housing insecurity runs 30.3% against 14.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,001, 25% below the Baltimore average.

It sits 1.2 points above the Baltimore City average of 6.8. Cost burden runs 56% here against 50.2% across Baltimore City.

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.
