Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Paramus
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.8/10. Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10.
Average gross rent is $2,388, 21% below the Paramus average. SNAP participation runs 4.9% against 15.2% nationally.
The voucher gap is 15.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Food insecurity runs 9.4% against 17.8% nationally.
Nationally it ranks #16,032 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Statute speed, court posture and rent-regulation exposure are inherited from Paramus eviction risk rather than measured on these blocks; the economic and supply components are the tract-level part of the score. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.4/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
It tracks the Bergen County average of 6.3 closely. Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $158,300.
