New Castle Historic District Eviction Risk: Lower

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.4/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.2/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.6/10.

Against the New Castle County average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 392 filings here across 9 tracked years.

9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Food insecurity runs 10.8% against 17.8% nationally. The worst year on record was 2015, when 11.4% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 8.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 27th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent is $1,754, close to the New Castle average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
