Southeast Inlet Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 1,617 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.8/10 · range 7.8–7.8

Southeast Inlet maps to a single census tract in Atlantic City, NJ, population 1,617. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.8/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Atlantic City baseline of 33.6%, 76% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The severe-burden share is 34%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 89% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Set annual rent against average household income of $36,964 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Food insecurity affects 38.3% of adults, 20.5 points above the national rate. SNAP participation is 34.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.7/10. The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Running hot is economic stress at 7.6/10. The filing record is not thin: 1,067 evictions logged in this tract.

Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 31.0% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 24.0% in 2018 against a 31.0% peak. That places it #1 of 11 neighborhoods in Atlantic City.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

One tract means one number: 7.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
