It sits 1.6 points above the Bergen County average of 6.3. The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10. about half of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Bergen County average of 46.6%.

Princeton eviction risk's Eviction Lab logged 206 filings here across 5 tracked years. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.9/10. The worst year on record was 2014, when 3.9% of renter households were served.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 3.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 90% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.5/10. Statewide the NJ average is 6.0, so this tract runs 1.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $1,778, close to the Garfield average.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
