Darien Eviction Risk: Moderate

What pushes it up most is supply constraint at 9.8/10. The voucher gap is 48.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Average gross rent is $2,606, 40% above the Darien average. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.2/10.

Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $91,932, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Food insecurity runs 9.5% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 7.8% against 15.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 49th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 4% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
