Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 6 to 8.2. A 2.2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Against a Camden baseline of 37.0%, 45% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 24.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 30.0% of adults, 12.2 points above the national rate. Filings are well documented here: 1,674 across 2 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 27.7% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 18.7% in 2018 against a 27.7% peak.
That places it #17 of 17 neighborhoods in Camden. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $1,159, close to the Camden average.
35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
