Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Bayonne
This is renter territory: 81% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.8/10. The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The filing record is not thin: 253 evictions over 4 years of observation. It sits 0.9 points above the Hudson County average of 7.7.
Food insecurity runs 25.8% against 17.8% nationally. The worst year on record was 2018, when 10.1% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 9.0% of renter households face a filing.
