1 census tracts · pop 5,197 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.4/10 · range 3.4–3.4

The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Food insecurity affects 7.6% of adults, 10.2 points below the national rate. Average gross rent is $1,491, 7% below the Dover average of $1,607.

Against average income of $117,038, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
