The most recent observed rate, 27.9% in 2018, is well off that peak. Only 25% 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. Against average income of $76,225, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.3 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $1,199, close to the Wilmington Manor average.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
