Delaware Eviction Risk: Moderate

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.6/10. At $1,679 a month, rents run 31% over what the rest of Delaware commands. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.8/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10. Food insecurity runs 8.0% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 5.9% against 15.2% nationally. The voucher gap is 16.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Court records carry 28 eviction filings across 9 observed years. The worst year on record was 2008, when 2.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.7% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #47,371 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 9% 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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
