Shelbourne Forest maps to a single census tract in Delaware, OH and houses 2,810 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Delaware baseline of 26.1%, 48% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 7.8/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. At $1,038 a month, rents sit 19% under what the rest of Delaware commands.
Court records for this tract carry 163 eviction filings. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.7/10. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 6.5% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 2.1% in 2017, is well off that peak. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Delaware, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Lexington Glen and Sandusky Street Historic District score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
