Brookdale Heights Eviction Risk: Lower , Magnolia

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.4/10. The voucher gap is 29.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. 55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Kent County average of 44.8%.

18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.8/10.

Against the Kent County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. Nationally it ranks #65,414 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the DE average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,927, close to the Magnolia average.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $103,077.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
