Riveredge Park takes in 2 census tracts of New Castle, DE and houses 4,881 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a New Castle baseline of 23.6%, 52% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
24% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2/10. Filings are well documented here: 802 across 2 observed tracts.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10. Average gross rent is $1,508, 13% below the New Castle average of $1,739. The worst year on record was 2018, when filings touched 20.1% of renter households.
That places it #3 of 6 neighborhoods in New Castle. Judgments average 6.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Only 16% 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. For a like-for-like read, Duross Heights and Castle Hills score within a fraction of it. Its 2 tracts score within 0.7 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $60,511.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
