Chaplecroft is a one-tract neighborhood of Camden, DE and houses 6,076 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.7/10, Lower tier. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.7/10.
Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.7/10.
At $1,380 a month, rents sit 25% under what the rest of Camden commands. Court records for this tract carry 339 eviction filings.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.7/10. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 9.0% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 7.5% in 2018 against a 9.0% peak.
Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
44% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $66,703.
One tract means one number: 3.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
