1 census tracts · pop 4,857 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4/10
· range 4–4
Windy Way maps to a single census tract in Smyrna, DE, population 4,857. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Smyrna baseline of 29.4%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 2.2/10. The severe-burden share is 16%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.7/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.1/10. Only 28% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,509, close to the Smyrna average. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $65,723.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
