Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Peninsula Lakes

Cost burden runs 66% here against 42.5% across Sussex County. The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 10/10.

Average gross rent is $2,565, 150% above the Long Neck average. The voucher gap is 83.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $80,458 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.1/10. Against the Sussex County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.

Food insecurity runs 8.9% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 6.9% against 15.2% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 8% 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.

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.
