Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Newark
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.4/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $78,281, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
At $2,141 a month, rents run 29% over what the rest of Newark commands. The voucher gap is 18.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Food insecurity runs 8.8% against 17.8% nationally.
SNAP participation runs 6.6% against 15.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 56 filings here across 9 tracked years.
Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 3/10. The worst year on record was 2017, when 20.7% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 9.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 44% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
