Downtown Jersey City Eviction Risk: Elevated

At $3,501 a month, rents run 74% over what the rest of Jersey City commands. The voucher gap is 52.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Cost burden runs roughly one in three here against 46.5% across Hudson County.

This is renter territory: 83% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. SNAP participation runs 2.0% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Hudson County average of 7.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points.

Housing insecurity runs 5.3% against 14.2% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 82% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.7/10.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $247,718, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
