Glyn Heath Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 3,888 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.2/10 · range 7.2–7.2

Glyn Heath maps to a single census tract in Somers Point, NJ and houses 3,888 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.2/10, Elevated tier. Against a Somers Point baseline of 30.5%, 65% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The severe-burden share is 28%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.9/10.

Court records for this tract carry 920 eviction filings. At $1,189 a month, rents sit 14% under what the rest of Somers Point commands. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.8/10.

Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 29.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 10.7% in 2018, is well off that peak. For a like-for-like read, Ocean City Harbors and Ocean Heights Manor score within a fraction of it.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $51,548. 57% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.2/10 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.
