Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Riveredge Park
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.6/10.
The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Court records carry 208 eviction filings across 9 observed years.
The worst year on record was 2018, when 19.5% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 18.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 46th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. about half of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the New Castle County average of 4.2 closely.
Average gross rent is $1,625, close to the New Castle average.
