Manhattan Valley maps to a single census tract in Edgewater, NJ and houses 3,892 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.3/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 29.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Disability prevalence reaches 14.1% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running hot is supply constraint at 8/10. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for roughly one in three of renter households.
Food insecurity affects 7.0% of adults, 10.8 points below the national rate. Against average income of $164,063, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,686, close to the Edgewater average.
61% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 6.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
