Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Bayonne
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. 70% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10.
The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.6/10. The filing record is not thin: 646 evictions over 4 years of observation.
It sits 0.7 points below the Hudson County average of 7.7. Filings peaked in 2014 at 13.9% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 10.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #12,919 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Social vulnerability reads 6.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the NJ average is 6.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
