Lanning Square maps to a single census tract in Camden, NJ and houses 4,853 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 8.8/10, in the High tier. Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
20.8% 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. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 2.1/10.
24.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The poverty rate is 23%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The filing record is not thin: 988 evictions logged in this tract. 42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Camden rate of 37.0%.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 28.1% of renter households.
Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 24.8% in 2018 against a 28.1% 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 9.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $1,284, close to the Camden average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 8.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
