Frankford Eviction Risk: Elevated , Baltimore

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. This is renter territory: 69% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $1,091 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Baltimore commands.

Housing insecurity runs 22.5% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 #16,032 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 7.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 50% of renters.
