Wilmington Commercial Historic District Eviction Risk: Moderate

27% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Court records carry 1,400 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.

At $762 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Wilmington commands. Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 13.1% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 5.8% in 2016, is well off that peak. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.2 points apart at the extremes.

46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
