Manhattan Valley Eviction Risk: Elevated , Edgewater

Against Bergen County at 46.6%, around a third of renters here are cost-burdened. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. The voucher gap is 29.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 8/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Housing insecurity runs 7.0% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Hudson Co. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

On the national scale it lands near the 80th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 2.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
