George Meyers Development Eviction Risk: Lower , Rising Sun-Lebanon

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.5/10. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against Kent County at 44.8%, 37% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.6/10. Against the Kent County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. The voucher gap is 14.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the DE average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $1,706, close to the Rising Sun-Lebanon average.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
