Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ashbourne Hills
88% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. 27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Set annual rent against average income of $48,681 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.3/10.
Against New Castle County at 44.1%, 51% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.8/10. It sits 0.8 points above the New Castle County average of 4.2.
That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.2/10. Statewide the DE average is 4.1, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent runs $1,315 a month.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
