The closest comparables inside the same city are The Glade and Rehoboth Manor. Against average income of $155,288, annual rent is only 10%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,239, close to the Rehoboth Beach average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
