Gateway maps to a single census tract in Camden, NJ and houses 1,693 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.8/10, High tier. 42% 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.
Cost burden runs 56% against 37.0% citywide, putting Gateway 19.4% over its own city. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 31.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. SNAP participation is 29.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 22%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The filing record is not thin: 592 evictions logged in this tract. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 32.5% of renter households. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 26.5% in 2018 against a 32.5% peak.
Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of Camden, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,288, close to the Camden average.
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.
