Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Georgetown
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.1/10. Against Sussex County at 42.5%, 30% of renters here are cost-burdened. The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.7/10. It sits 1.5 points above the Sussex County average of 4.0.
The voucher gap is 14.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $1,599, 13% above the Georgetown average. That is riskier than roughly 72% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 4.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the DE average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $72,569.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
