Liberty Park Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 2,401 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.8/10 · range 8.8–8.8

Liberty Park maps to a single census tract in Camden, NJ and houses 2,401 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.8/10, High tier. 41% 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.

75% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Camden rate of 37.0%. 27.6% 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 main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1/10.

Set annual rent against average household income of $32,013 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. This is a renter market: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The poverty rate is 25%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Court records for this tract carry 392 eviction filings. Disability prevalence reaches 44.3% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. At $1,036 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of Camden commands.

Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 12.9% of renter households.

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.
