Brookdale Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of Magnolia, DE, population 2,606. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9.6/10.
Cost burden runs 55% against 45.0% citywide, putting Brookdale Heights 10.2% over its own city. The voucher gap is 29.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.8/10. Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
On the high side is supply constraint at 7.9/10. At 15% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Average gross rent runs $1,927, close to the Magnolia average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $103,077.
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.
