Analysis
What drives eviction risk in West Englewood Park
Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 7.9/10. Against the Bergen County average of 6.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.7/10. Disability prevalence runs 19.4% against 31.5% nationally. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.5/10.
SNAP participation runs 6.3% against 15.2% nationally. 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.
Nationally it ranks #9,043 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.3/10. Statewide the NJ average is 6.0, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.
49% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
