Crest Lea Park maps to a single census tract in Linwood, NJ and houses 2,355 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.1/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. Cost burden runs 44% against 37.0% citywide, putting Crest Lea Park 6.7% over its own city. The filing record is not thin: 16 evictions logged in this tract.
Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.9/10. Food insecurity affects 7.1% of adults, 10.7 points below the national rate.
3.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Average gross rent is $1,892, 14% below the Linwood average of $2,188.
Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 1.8% of renter households. The voucher gap is 10.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
The most recent observed rate, 0.5% in 2018, is well off that peak. At 13% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
