Dudley is a one-tract neighborhood of Camden, NJ, population 3,295. Scored across those inputs it reaches 8.8/10, placing it in the High tier. 33.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
26% 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. 17.9% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 2.9/10. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The filing record is not thin: 404 evictions logged in this tract.
Average gross rent is $1,415, 15% above the Camden average of $1,226. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 20.1% of renter households.
Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 12.6% in 2018 against a 20.1% peak. 38% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
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 9.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
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.
