Bay Vista maps to a single census tract in Rehoboth Beach, DE, population 2,170. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 79%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
87% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Rehoboth Beach rate of 19.6%. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.3/10. Food insecurity affects 4.7% of adults, 13.1 points below the national rate.
4.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Rehoboth Beach, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Only 19% 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. The closest comparables inside the same city are The Glade and Henlopen Keys.
Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $1,348, close to the Rehoboth Beach average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
