Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Camden
What moves this score most is rent-control risk at 8.7/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Camden eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Kent County average of 5.7 and above the Delaware statewide average of 5.6. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 73rd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 176 eviction filings here over 9 tracked years, with about 7.2% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 10.1% of renter households in 2011.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
