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 Franklin Square

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 48.4% against 15.2% nationally.

Housing insecurity runs 36.1% against 14.2% nationally. Cost burden runs 64% here against 50.2% across Baltimore City.

Set annual rent against average income of $28,059 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Average gross rent is $902, 32% below the Baltimore average.

The poverty rate is 33%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 73% 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 high side, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. Against the Baltimore City average of 6.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. 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.

Nationally it ranks #7,836 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
