· range 3.3–3.3
University Park maps to a single census tract in Pomona, NJ, population 8,573. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.3/10, in the Lower tier. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.2/10.
Cost burden runs 41% against 51.0% citywide, putting University Park 10.3% under its own city. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.3/10. At $862 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of Pomona commands.
The filing record is not thin: 142 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2018 at 9.0% of renter households.
At 16% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Rent takes 10% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.3/10 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.
