Society Hill is a one-tract neighborhood of Ramsey, NJ and houses 5,971 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, Moderate tier. Against a Ramsey baseline of 32.9%, 56% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. 12% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
The filing record is not thin: 15 evictions logged in this tract. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. 3.8% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 2.1% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 1.5% in 2018 against a 2.1% peak.
At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
