It sits 1.4 points above the Sussex County average of 4.0. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

In a typical year about 43.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 12% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
