Analysis
What drives eviction risk in West New York
Adults with no health insurance runs 35.1% against 11.3% nationally. Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 80% 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.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.2/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10.
Against the Hudson County average of 7.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Average gross rent is $1,420, 17% below the West New York average.
Princeton eviction risk's Eviction Lab logged 351 filings here across 4 tracked years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2014 at 11.0% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
