Oak Grove Eviction Risk: Moderate
1 census tracts · pop 7,176 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.7/10 · range 4.7–4.7
Oak Grove maps to a single census tract in Dover, DE, population 7,176. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.7/10, in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10.
Court records for this tract carry 3,320 eviction filings. Severe burden reaches 10%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. SNAP participation is 24.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 30.1% of renter households.
Against a Dover baseline of 34.3%, 37% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Recent filings have not receded much: 23.2% in 2018 against a 30.1% peak.
That places it #7 of 10 neighborhoods in Dover. For a like-for-like read, Dupont Manor and Mayfair score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $1,333, close to the Dover average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $60,947. 61% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.7/10 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.
