Lake Walker Eviction Risk: Elevated , Baltimore

Average gross rent is $874, 34% below the Baltimore average. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Against Baltimore City at 50.2%, 39% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. 17% 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 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 #14,906 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $61,516, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter. It tracks the Baltimore City average of 6.8 closely.

60% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
