Midtown North maps to a single census tract in Atlantic City, NJ, population 1,334. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.8/10, in the Elevated tier. Average gross rent is $390, 66% below the Atlantic City average of $1,136.
What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. 27.9% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 36.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
The poverty rate is 41%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. This is a renter market: 89% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1/10.
Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 33% of renter households. The filing record is not thin: 582 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2018 at 19.4% of renter households. Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Atlantic City, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $21,022.
One tract means one number: 7.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
