Analysis

What drives eviction risk in North Roland Park/Poplar Hill

Severe burden reaches 29%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Average gross rent is $1,800, 35% above the Baltimore average. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.8/10.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.2/10. It sits 1.6 points below the Baltimore City average of 6.8. Cost burden runs 43% here against 50.2% across Baltimore City.

SNAP participation runs 5.3% against 15.2% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 6.8% against 14.2% nationally.

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. That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.1/10. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $141,250, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
