Marlton maps to a single census tract in Camden, NJ and houses 4,726 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8.8/10, in the High tier. Cost burden runs 57% against 37.0% citywide, putting Marlton 20.2% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 34%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 34.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 30.5% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Set annual rent against average household income of $39,382 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.7/10.
Running hot is economic stress at 7.8/10. Court records for this tract carry 940 eviction filings.
The worst year on record was 2017, when filings touched 19.9% of renter households. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 14.7% in 2018 against a 19.9% peak.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 8.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
