Analysis
What drives eviction risk in West New York
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.9/10. Cost burden runs 60% here against 46.5% across Hudson County.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 29.8% against 11.3% nationally. 75% 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.
Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income of $49,083, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10. Average gross rent is $1,326, 23% below the West New York average.
Housing insecurity runs 26.5% against 14.2% nationally. Against the Hudson County average of 7.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. The filing record is not thin: 299 evictions over 4 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2018 at 9.7% of renter households.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
