Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Beech Haven

62% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Kent County average of 44.8%. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.4/10.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.1/10.

The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. At $793 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Cheswold commands. Nationally it ranks #42,813 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 18% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $68,800, annual rent is just 14%.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Kent County average of 4.0 closely.

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.
