West Forest Park Eviction Risk: Moderate , Baltimore

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 35.1% against 15.2% nationally. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. Food insecurity runs 33.5% against 17.8% nationally.

67% 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. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Against the Baltimore City average of 6.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.4 points. At $1,045 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Baltimore commands.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $81,827, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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