Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Newark

Against New Castle County at 44.1%, 66% of renters here are cost-burdened. Set annual rent against average income of $27,037 and the ratio lands at 64%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 73%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

100% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. SNAP participation runs 36.8% against 15.2% nationally. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.4/10.

Food insecurity runs 35.4% against 17.8% nationally. Against the New Castle County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.6 points.

Court records carry 57 eviction filings across 9 observed years. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 3/10.

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.
