Fairview is a one-tract neighborhood of Dover, DE, population 2,334. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. 55% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Dover rate of 34.3%.
This is a renter market: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 2/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Average gross rent is $1,037, 23% below the Dover average of $1,344. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10.
The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The filing record is not thin: 692 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 14.0% of renter households. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 9.4% in 2018 against a 14.0% peak.
That places it #1 of 10 neighborhoods in Dover.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
