What drives eviction risk in Wilmington
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.7/10.
Average gross rent is $1,056, 24% below the Wilmington average. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8/10.
Food insecurity runs 9.7% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 7.2% against 15.2% nationally.
On the national scale it lands near the 47th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 4.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Against average income of $77,937, annual rent is just 16%. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
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.
