Peninsula Lakes Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 6,195 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Peninsula Lakes is a 2-tract neighborhood of Long Neck, DE and houses 6,195 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 39%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Average gross rent is $1,822, 78% above the Long Neck average of $1,025. The voucher gap is 30.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.6/10. Cost burden runs 47% against 37.6% citywide, putting Peninsula Lakes 8.9% over its own city. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10. Food insecurity affects 8.9% of adults, 8.9 points below the national rate. Only 11% 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 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $71,252.

With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
