Collins Park Eviction Risk: Lower

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.6/10. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 1.9/10. At $1,667 a month, rents sit 21% over what the rest of Bethany Beach commands.

The voucher gap is 19.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. SNAP participation is 2.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

The filing record is not thin: 4 evictions logged in this tract. Cost burden runs about one in five against 22.5% citywide, putting Collins Park 3.7% under its own city. 3.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 66.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 33.3% in 2017, is well off that peak.

At 3% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $136,964, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
