Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Shady Side
63% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Sussex County average of 42.5%. The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 54.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $75,608 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.4/10.
Food insecurity runs 7.1% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 5.6% against 14.2% nationally. Against the Sussex County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points.
Nationally it ranks #61,558 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 4.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
