Odessa Heights Eviction Risk: Lower , Middletown

Average gross rent is $891, 44% below the Middletown average. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.4/10.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Against the New Castle County average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points. 10% 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 9.4% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 6.9% against 15.2% nationally.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 8% of average household income of $134,111, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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.

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