Central Waterfront maps to a single census tract in Camden, NJ and houses 2,274 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 8.8/10, placing it in the High tier. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.
about half of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Camden rate of 37.0%. The poverty rate is 40%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Set annual rent against average household income of $46,500 and the ratio lands at 42%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. This is a renter market: 83% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
At $1,630 a month, rents sit 33% over what the rest of Camden commands. The filing record is not thin: 392 evictions logged in this tract. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 29.1% of adults, 11.3 points above the national rate. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 10.8% of renter households.
On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 7.7% in 2018 against a 10.8% peak.
That places it #1 of 17 neighborhoods in Camden.
One tract means one number: 8.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
