Baltimore Highlands Eviction Risk: Elevated

On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $47,690, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.2/10. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Adults with no health insurance runs 21.7% against 11.3% nationally. Food insecurity runs 28.1% against 17.8% nationally.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Baltimore. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 86% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. roughly one in two of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

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.
