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 Locust Point

Average gross rent is $2,257, 70% above the Baltimore average. Cost burden runs 37% here against 50.2% across Baltimore City.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. Against the Baltimore City average of 6.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.6 points.

Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Food insecurity runs 6.3% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 4.5% against 15.2% nationally.

The voucher gap is 14.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. 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 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.3/10. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $156,176, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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.
