Breckenridge is a 2-tract neighborhood of Pike Creek, DE, population 8,094. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs around a third against 21.2% citywide, putting Breckenridge 11.1% over its own city.
At $1,493 a month, rents sit 34% under what the rest of Pike Creek commands. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.2/10.
Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Court records carry 312 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. SNAP participation is 6.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 8.3% of adults, 9.5 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2018 at 18.0% of renter households. Judgments average 1.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
At 17% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.3 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 3.1/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
