Murrays Haven maps to a single census tract in Ocean View, DE, population 2,718. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.4/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 24% of renter households.
The clearest offset is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.4/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.6/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 12% 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. The voucher gap is 13.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.9/10. SNAP participation is 6.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. At $1,587 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Ocean View commands.
Only 12% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Holly Ridge and Bay View Park score within a fraction of it.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $82,796.
One tract means one number: 3.4/10 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.
