Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Harrington
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 7.8/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Kent County average of 5.7 and above the Delaware statewide average of 5.6. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 61st percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,059 eviction filings here over 9 tracked years, with about 14.2% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 17.0% of renter households in 2013.
