Bay View Park maps to a single census tract in Ocean View, DE and houses 2,679 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Ocean View baseline of 27.1%, 48% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Average gross rent is $1,385, 22% below the Ocean View average of $1,774.
Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.4/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 13% 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.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.6/10. 3.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. At 7% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Holly Ridge and Murrays Haven score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $80,779.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
