Newport Eviction Risk: Elevated , Jersey City

At $3,347 a month, rents run 67% over what the rest of Jersey City commands. The voucher gap is 45.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 9.6/10. 91% 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 cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.

Food insecurity runs 5.9% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Hudson County average of 7.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points.

Housing insecurity runs 5.8% against 14.2% nationally. Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 82nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
