Dell Rapids Historic District Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,526 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Dell Rapids Historic District is a one-tract neighborhood of Dell Rapids, SD and houses 4,526 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 27% of renter households.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.6/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Rent takes 12% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent runs $922, close to the Dell Rapids average.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
