Cheswolde Eviction Risk: Moderate , Baltimore

Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.6/10. It sits 1.6 points below the Baltimore City average of 6.8. Average gross rent is $1,570, 18% above the Baltimore average.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 5.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 54% of renters. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $73,008.

50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
