Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Oak Drive

Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,594, 25% above the Millsboro average. Against the Sussex County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.

Food insecurity runs 8.6% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 6.5% against 15.2% nationally.

The voucher gap is 14.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 6.9/10. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the DE average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
