· range 3.1–3.1
Carriage Lane maps to a single census tract in Highland Acres, DE and houses 4,516 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.1/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 61% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Highland Acres rate of 24.3%.
The severe-burden share is 21%. 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 economic stress, at 2.6/10.
The filing record is not thin: 206 evictions logged in this tract. At $1,351 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of Highland Acres commands. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 9.4% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 2.9% in 2018, is well off that peak. At 13% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.1/10 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.
