Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Newark
What moves this score most is supply constraint at 6.9/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the New Castle County average of 5.7 and in line with the Delaware statewide average of 5.6. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 56 eviction filings here over 9 tracked years, with about 9.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 20.7% of renter households in 2017.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.07x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, well below the pre-pandemic norm, the signature of an eviction moratorium at work.
