Brookside Eviction Risk: Moderate

roughly one in two of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the New Castle County average of 44.1%. Against the New Castle County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.8/10.

11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.2/10.

Court records carry 1,121 eviction filings across 9 observed years. Filings peaked in 2011 at 48.4% of renter households. In a typical year about 23.5% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 74th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the DE average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,468, close to the Brookside average.

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.
