Beech Haven is a one-tract neighborhood of Cheswold, DE and houses 4,288 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 54%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
62% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Cheswold rate of 31.7%. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1/10. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.1/10.
The poverty rate is 22%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10.
Average gross rent is $793, 10% below the Cheswold average of $880. At 18% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 4.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
