Diamond Beach maps to a single census tract in Wildwood Crest, NJ, population 3,104. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 64% against 33.9% citywide, putting Diamond Beach 30.2% over its own city.
The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.2/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.1/10. 11% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Court records for this tract carry 118 eviction filings.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 7.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.3% of adults, 9.5 points below the national rate.
The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 14.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 6.2% in 2018, is well off that peak. At 21% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Against average income of $82,143, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $950, close to the Wildwood Crest average.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
