Pretty Brook Area Eviction Risk: Moderate , Princeton

The voucher gap is 33.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10.

Cost burden runs 37% here against 46.5% across Mercer County. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Food insecurity runs 6.0% against 17.8% nationally.

Housing insecurity runs 5.5% against 14.2% nationally. Princeton eviction risk's Eviction Lab logged 32 filings here across 6 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2017, when 3.3% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.8% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 67th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.2/10. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $244,583, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Mercer County average of 5.7 closely.

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.
