Teachers Village Eviction Risk: High

4 census tracts · pop 12,022 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.1/10 · range 6.5–9.6

Teachers Village takes in 4 census tracts of Harrison, NJ and houses 12,022 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 8.1/10, in the High tier. 50% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Harrison rate of 28.7%.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.9/10. The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.5 to 9.6, a 3.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. This is a renter market: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Filings are well documented here: 339 across 4 observed tracts.

At $1,881 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of Harrison commands. Filing activity peaked in 2017 at 6.4% of renter households. 18.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

The most recent observed rate, 2.8% in 2018, is well off that peak. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $83,755.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 3.1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
