Jersey City Eviction Risk: High

Cost burden runs 66% here against 46.5% across Hudson County. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. At $1,315 a month, rents run 34% under what the rest of Jersey City commands.

The poverty rate is 33%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. 68% 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.

It sits 1.7 points above the Hudson County average of 7.7. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10.

Housing insecurity runs 27.5% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Princeton eviction risk's Eviction Lab logged 1,231 filings here across 4 tracked years.
