Whitman Park spans 4 census tracts of Collingswood, NJ and houses 14,874 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.2/10, Elevated tier. 49% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Collingswood rate of 30.9%.
The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5 to 8.8, a 3.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. Filings are well documented here: 3,568 across 4 observed tracts.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.1/10. Average gross rent is $1,306, 12% below the Collingswood average of $1,488.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 29.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 17.5% in 2018, is well off that peak.
Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
