Centerville is a one-tract neighborhood of Camden, NJ and houses 2,805 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8.8/10, in the High tier. Against a Camden baseline of 37.0%, 64% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
36% 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 dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.
The poverty rate is 49%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation is 59.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Annualized rent equals 49% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Food insecurity affects 59.5% of adults, 41.7 points above the national rate. 81% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10. At $984 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of Camden commands.
The filing record is not thin: 830 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 15.8% of renter households. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10.
Recent filings have not receded much: 10.1% in 2018 against a 15.8% peak.
One tract means one number: 8.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
