· range 4.9–7
Radburn takes in 8 census tracts of Fair Lawn, NJ and houses 38,658 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, Moderate tier. 48% 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.
Cost burden runs 67% against 36.3% citywide, putting Radburn 30.9% over its own city. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8.7/10. The 8 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.9 to 7, a 2.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.6/10. Court records carry 403 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. Disability prevalence reaches 19.5% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
Food insecurity affects 7.5% of adults, 10.3 points below the national rate. The worst year on record was 2018, when filings touched 10.0% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,720, 10% below the Fair Lawn average of $1,917.
Only 17% 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. Rent takes 12% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
