Radnor Green Eviction Risk: Moderate

3 census tracts · pop 12,926 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.2/10 · range 3.6–5.1

Radnor Green takes in 3 census tracts of Claymont, DE and houses 12,926 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.2/10, in the Moderate tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10.

Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3.6 to 5.1. A 1.5-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. 32% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.

15% 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. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.5/10. Court records carry 4,298 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.

Average gross rent is $1,485, 14% above the Claymont average of $1,306. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.8/10. Filing activity peaked in 2018 at 38.2% of renter households.

Judgments average 5.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $82,770.

41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
