Wilmington Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,865, 34% above the Wilmington average.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.1/10.

Food insecurity runs 7.1% against 17.8% nationally. The voucher gap is 18.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 337 filings here across 12 tracked years. Housing insecurity runs 5.8% against 14.2% nationally.

It sits 0.8 points below the New Hanover County average of 4.0. The worst year on record was 2006, when 9.0% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 4.8% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 25% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

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