Cripple Creek maps to a single census tract in Milton, DE, population 4,849. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.3/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 89% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Against a Milton baseline of 29.1%, 89% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.6/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. At 4% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
One tract means one number: 4.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
