Cooper Point Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 1,338 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.8/10 · range 8.8–8.8

Cooper Point is a one-tract neighborhood of Camden, NJ, population 1,338. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.8/10, High tier. Severe burden reaches 42%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

55% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Camden rate of 37.0%. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10.

Annualized rent equals 50% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 47%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation is 46.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.8/10. Disability prevalence reaches 46.1% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Court records for this tract carry 351 eviction filings.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 23.0% of renter households. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 14.5% in 2018 against a 23.0% peak.

Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of Camden, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Marlton and Parkside. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Average gross rent runs $1,217, close to the Camden average.

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.
