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 Upton

Food insecurity runs 44.2% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 50%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the high side, economic stress reads 10/10. Severe burden reaches 32%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Housing insecurity runs 35.7% against 14.2% nationally.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $41,270 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

It sits 1.2 points above the Baltimore City average of 6.8. Average gross rent is $1,108, 17% 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. On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.5/10.

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.
