Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 dominant input is court filing pressure at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 56.5% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 31.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. This is renter territory: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 29%. 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.

Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 7.2/10. At $1,528 a month, rents run 15% over what the rest of Baltimore commands.

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. Nationally it ranks #7,836 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.8/10.

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