Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Milford
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.1/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.1/10.
Against Sussex County at 42.5%, around a third of renters here are cost-burdened. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Court records carry 84 eviction filings across 6 observed years. SNAP participation runs 7.9% against 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity runs 10.5% against 17.8% nationally. The worst year on record was 2014, when 7.2% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 5.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 38% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
Social vulnerability reads 3.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
