Hudson Heights Eviction Risk: Elevated

Severe burden reaches 33%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.6/10.

Court records for this tract carry 189 eviction filings. SNAP participation is 5.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2017, when filings touched 9.2% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 8.2% in 2018 against a 9.2% peak. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,233, close to the Fort Lee average.

Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $98,682. 50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 7.2/10 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.
