HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Reisterstown Station

34% 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, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $38,295 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. SNAP participation runs 31.1% against 15.2% nationally.

69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Food insecurity runs 29.9% against 17.8% nationally.

Average gross rent is $1,056, 21% below the Baltimore average. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Against the Baltimore City average of 6.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points.

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.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
