Delaware Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate

Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.3/10. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Alpha rate of 41.8%.

The filing record is not thin: 76 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2017 at 5.3% of renter households. At $1,234 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Alpha commands.

Recent filings have not receded much: 4.0% in 2018 against a 5.3% peak. At 27% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 4.9/10 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.
