Fox Hall maps to a single census tract in Dover, DE, population 5,417. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.8/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Dover baseline of 34.3%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 38%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.5/10.
Average gross rent is $1,118, 17% below the Dover average of $1,344. The filing record is not thin: 799 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 24.0% of renter households.
Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 4.0% in 2018, is well off that peak.
Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Dover, it ranks #9 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Voshell Cove and Grand Oaks score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 3.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
