Sussex Eviction Risk: Moderate , Norfolk

26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Set annual rent against average income of $37,879 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

This is renter territory: 77% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1.7/10.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.2/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,214 filings here across 2 tracked years.

Average gross rent is $1,141, 14% below the Norfolk average. Filings peaked in 2011 at 108.0% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 76.4% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #47,371 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.5/10. 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.
