Western Section Eviction Risk: Elevated , Princeton

Cost burden runs around a third here against 46.5% across Mercer County. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.3/10.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10.

16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. SNAP participation runs 3.4% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 6.5% against 17.8% nationally.

The filing record is not thin: 5 evictions over 3 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2016 at 0.8% of renter households.

In a typical year about 0.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 80% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $150,833, annual rent is just 3%. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
