Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hampden

The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. At $1,649 a month, rents run 24% over what the rest of Baltimore commands.

Against Baltimore City at 50.2%, 43% of renters here are cost-burdened. Against the Baltimore City average of 6.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.

Running hot, local political climate reads 7/10. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 76% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.4/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $75,221.

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.
