What drives eviction risk in West New York
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.9/10. 63% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Hudson County average of 46.5%.
Adults with no health insurance runs 31.1% against 11.3% nationally. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.
Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $48,478, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 73% 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.
Food insecurity runs 33.9% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Hudson County average of 7.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points.
The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10. At $1,375 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of West New York commands.
