Newark Eviction Risk: High

Adults with no health insurance runs 34.9% against 11.3% nationally. Severe burden reaches 32%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

It sits 2.6 points above the Essex County average of 7.3. Housing insecurity runs 33.8% against 14.2% nationally.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. This is renter territory: 80% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

The poverty rate is 33%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

Princeton eviction risk's Eviction Lab logged 1,739 filings here across 6 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2015 at 27.5% of renter households.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Essex Co. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 23.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
