Seton Hill Eviction Risk: High , Baltimore

92% 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. 29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

SNAP participation runs 35.3% against 15.2% nationally. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Cost burden runs 39% here against 50.2% across Baltimore City.

Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. Set annual rent against average income of $41,764 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Against the Baltimore City average of 6.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 20.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. At $1,139 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Baltimore commands.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Baltimore. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
