Westport Eviction Risk: High , Baltimore

31% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $802 a month, rents run 40% under what the rest of Baltimore commands.

Housing insecurity runs 35.0% against 14.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. The poverty rate is 34%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 25.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

It sits 1.2 points above the Baltimore City average of 6.8. 55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Baltimore City average of 50.2%. 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 2.5 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most 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.
