Spuyten Duyvil Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 5,347 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.6/10 · range 5.6–5.6

Spuyten Duyvil is a one-tract neighborhood of Englewood Cliffs, NJ, population 5,347. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, Moderate tier. 46% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 69.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10.

53% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Englewood Cliffs rate of 42.4%. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.2/10. SNAP participation is 3.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Court records for this tract carry 52 eviction filings.

Filing activity peaked in 2017 at 7.6% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 4.4% in 2018, is well off that peak.

At 16% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $222,192, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.

One tract means one number: 5.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
