Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lancaster Park
The score leans hardest on eviction process difficulty at 6.7/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Margate City, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Atlantic County average of 6.7 and in line with the New Jersey statewide average of 6.6. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 10th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
Princeton eviction risk's Eviction Lab logged 88 eviction filings here over 6 tracked years, with about 3.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 3.6% of renter households in 2013.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
