Ludlam Beach Light Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,047 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.4/10 · range 3.4–3.4

Ludlam Beach Light maps to a single census tract in Sea Isle City, NJ, population 2,047. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.4/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 56% against 34.2% citywide, putting Ludlam Beach Light 21.5% over its own city.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Severe burden reaches 14%. 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 4.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Food insecurity affects 6.0% of adults, 11.8 points below the national rate. Court records for this tract carry 11 eviction filings.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 3.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.9% in 2018, is well off that peak.

At 6% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
