Dupont Manor maps to a single census tract in Dover, DE, population 4,777. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 56% against 34.3% citywide, putting Dupont Manor 22.1% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10.
The filing record is not thin: 1,851 evictions logged in this tract. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 49.2% of renter households.
At $1,224 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Dover commands. The most recent observed rate, 21.2% in 2018, is well off that peak. That places it #6 of 10 neighborhoods in Dover.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $62,157.
30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
