Rugby Square Eviction Risk: Moderate

Rugby Square is a one-tract neighborhood of Bergenfield, NJ, population 3,706. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 57%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
roughly two in three of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Bergenfield rate of 32.2%. At $3,039 a month, rents sit 73% over what the rest of Bergenfield commands.
The voucher gap is 46.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 9.7/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. The filing record is not thin: 29 evictions logged in this tract.
Disability prevalence reaches 18.9% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. SNAP participation is 4.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 10.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.6% in 2018, is well off that peak. Only 10% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
The closest comparables inside the same city are West Englewood Park and Knickerbocker Park.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 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.
