11th St. Bridge is a 2-tract neighborhood of Wilmington, DE, population 3,542. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.8/10, Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $442, 64% below the Wilmington average of $1,224.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 42%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 34.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
This is a renter market: 80% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10. 38% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Wilmington rate of 31.0%.
The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.4 to 5.8, a 1.4-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Disability prevalence reaches 47.0% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. The filing record is not thin: 1,700 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 17.1% of renter households. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
