Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Yale Heights

Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. Food insecurity runs 32.0% against 17.8% nationally.

Housing insecurity runs 28.3% against 14.2% nationally. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.9/10.

16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 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. On the national scale it lands near the 81st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.6/10. Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

48% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Baltimore City average of 6.8 closely.
