Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. It sits 1.0 points below the Kent County average of 4.0. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.7/10.

Food insecurity runs 10.5% against 17.8% nationally. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 4% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the DE average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent is $1,640, close to the Smyrna average. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $100,578.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
