Holly Ridge is a one-tract neighborhood of Ocean View, DE, population 1,329. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Average gross rent is $1,295, 27% below the Ocean View average of $1,774. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.9/10. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.4/10.
about one in five of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, below the Ocean View rate of 27.1%. Food insecurity affects 5.6% of adults, 12.2 points below the national rate. Court records for this tract carry 20 eviction filings.
SNAP participation is 4.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.6/10.
The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 3.5% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.2% in 2017, is well off that peak. At 7% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
