Wilmington Commercial Historic District Eviction Risk: Moderate

29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10.

The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

Against the Clinton County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. Average gross rent is $764, 16% below the Wilmington average.

Court records carry 605 eviction filings across 12 observed years. The worst year on record was 2005, when 9.9% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 6.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
