Triangle is a one-tract neighborhood of Wilmington, DE and houses 2,953 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.8/10, in the Moderate tier. 40% 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.
Against a Wilmington baseline of 31.0%, 61% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1/10.
Average gross rent is $820, 33% below the Wilmington average of $1,224. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
The filing record is not thin: 792 evictions logged in this tract. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10.
The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 11.7% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 8.6% in 2018 against a 11.7% peak.
That places it #1 of 20 neighborhoods in Wilmington. The closest comparables inside the same city are 11th St. Bridge and West Hill. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
