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 Sandtown-Winchester

Average gross rent is $665, 50% below the Baltimore average. Food insecurity runs 47.1% against 17.8% nationally. Severe burden reaches 30%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 29.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. Cost burden runs 43% here against 50.2% across Baltimore City.

It sits 1.2 points above the Baltimore City average of 6.8. 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.

Nationally it ranks #7,836 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.7/10.

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.
