Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tract 10001042000
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.4/10. 29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.2/10.
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.8/10. It sits 1.0 points below the Kent County average of 4.0.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 137 filings here across 9 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2013 at 22.6% of renter households.
In a typical year about 12.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 13% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.6/10. Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $92,799, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the DE average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
