What drives eviction risk in McGinley Square
Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. This is renter territory: 87% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. It sits 1.7 points above the Hudson County average of 7.7.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Court records carry 482 eviction filings across 4 observed years.
Food insecurity runs 26.2% against 17.8% nationally. The worst year on record was 2014, when 17.7% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Hudson 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 11.3% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #2,922 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
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.
