Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Delmar
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 7.3/10. 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 Delmar 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.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 423 eviction filings here over 6 tracked years, with about 23.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 32.1% of renter households in 2015.
In CDC survey modeling, about 12.2% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 8.2% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
