Parkside is a one-tract neighborhood of Camden, NJ, population 4,181. The Eviction Risk Score is 8.8/10, in the High tier. The severe-burden share is 44%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a Camden baseline of 37.0%, 58% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. SNAP participation is 47.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 50.6% of adults, 32.8 points above the national rate. Set annual rent against average household income of $41,921 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 2.3/10.
The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The filing record is not thin: 996 evictions logged in this tract. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10.
The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 28.8% of renter households. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 20.2% in 2018 against a 28.8% peak.
At $1,320 a month, rents sit 8% over what the rest of Camden commands.
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.
