Morgan Village Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 2,701 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.8/10 · range 8.8–8.8

Morgan Village maps to a single census tract in Camden, NJ, population 2,701. The Eviction Risk Score is 8.8/10, in the High tier. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 43%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 35.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

24.1% 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. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Camden rate of 37.0%.

Average gross rent is $905, 26% below the Camden average of $1,226. Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Court records for this tract carry 766 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 20.7% of renter households. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10.

Recent filings have not receded much: 15.8% in 2018 against a 20.7% peak. Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of Camden, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

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.
