Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Cheswolde
Severe burden reaches 28%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.5/10.
It sits 1.6 points below the Baltimore City average of 6.8. Against Baltimore City at 50.2%, 45% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Average gross rent is $1,520, 14% above the Baltimore average. 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. On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.1/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $69,583.
63% 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.
