Central West Eviction Risk: High
1 census tracts · pop 3,169 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.4/10 · range 8.4–8.4
Central West is a one-tract neighborhood of Trenton, NJ and houses 3,169 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 8.4/10, placing it in the High tier. 56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Trenton rate of 34.0%.
The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.8/10. Food insecurity affects 33.1% of adults, 15.3 points above the national rate. The severe-burden share is 16%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10. The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records for this tract carry 1,193 eviction filings.
SNAP participation is 26.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 41.8% of renter households. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10.
The most recent observed rate, 23.7% in 2018, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 13 neighborhoods in Trenton.
For a like-for-like read, Cadwalader Heights and Top Road score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 8.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
