Brandywine Village maps to a single census tract in Wilmington, DE and houses 3,605 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, in the Moderate tier. 37% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Wilmington rate of 31.0%.
At $1,475 a month, rents sit 21% over what the rest of Wilmington commands. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10. 12% 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.
The filing record is not thin: 1,395 evictions logged in this tract. 14.2% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 38.9% of renter households.
SNAP participation is 23.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Recent filings have not receded much: 29.6% in 2018 against a 38.9% peak. Among the 20 mapped neighborhoods of Wilmington, it ranks #18 by risk, the lower third.
For a like-for-like read, Canby Park and Harlan score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $77,054. 55% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
