· range 3–3
Swanendael maps to a single census tract in Lewes, DE and houses 1,856 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Against a Lewes baseline of 34.0%, 60% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 4.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 5.8% of adults, 12.0 points below the national rate. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
