Delaware Eviction Risk: Lower , Springfield

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.3/10.

Average gross rent is $1,235, 28% above the Springfield average. The voucher gap is 23.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 2/10.

Food insecurity runs 6.4% against 17.8% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 73 evictions over 9 years of observation. Housing insecurity runs 6.7% against 14.2% nationally.

It sits 0.7 points below the Greene County average of 3.7. Filings peaked in 2011 at 3.4% of renter households.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Springfield. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 2.2% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
