Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Henlopen Keys
The heaviest input here is rent-control risk at 4.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Rehoboth Beach eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Sussex County average of 5.5 and below the Delaware statewide average of 5.6. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 3.2% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 2.3% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 6 eviction filings here over 2 tracked years, with about 3.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 4.4% of renter households in 2017.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
