Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fairview
73% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. 55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Kent County average of 44.8%. The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2/10. At $1,037 a month, rents run 23% under what the rest of Dover commands.
It sits 1.4 points above the Kent County average of 4.0. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.5/10. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
