Hackensack Eviction Risk: High

30% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 77% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

It sits 1.9 points above the Bergen County average of 6.3. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10. 55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Bergen County average of 46.6%.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.1/10. The filing record is not thin: 1,121 evictions over 5 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2014, when 17.4% of renter households were served.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 15.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 92nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
