Teachers Village spans 17 census tracts of Newark, NJ and houses 59,548 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.7/10, in the High tier. Against a Newark baseline of 33.7%, 52% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 28%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. This is a renter market: 85% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 31.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
24.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
The 17 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 8.8 to 9.9, a 1.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Filings are well documented here: 16,245 across 17 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2018 at 48.6% of renter households.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 9.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
