Voshell Cove maps to a single census tract in Dover, DE and houses 5,657 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Dover baseline of 34.3%, 59% 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. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.7/10.
Average gross rent is $1,502, 12% above the Dover average of $1,344. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. That places it #8 of 10 neighborhoods in Dover.
At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $76,222.
One tract means one number: 3.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
