Midtown Eviction Risk: Elevated , Atlantic City

The poverty rate is 49%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation runs 38.7% against 15.2% nationally.

Annualized rent equals 47% of average household income of $24,554, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 93% 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 hot, court filing pressure reads 9.3/10. Against the Atlantic County average of 5.5, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points.

Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Housing insecurity runs 29.6% against 14.2% nationally.

Average gross rent is $953, 16% below the Atlantic City average. Court records carry 2,769 eviction filings across 6 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2014, when 60.1% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Atlantic City.

In a typical year about 42.1% of renter households face a filing.

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.
