Perdicaris Place spans 2 census tracts of Trenton, NJ, population 5,921. Scored across those inputs it reaches 8.4/10, placing it in the High tier. 50% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Trenton rate of 34.0%.
30% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 32.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1/10.
81% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. At $893 a month, rents sit 31% under what the rest of Trenton commands.
The poverty rate is 26%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10.
Filings are well documented here: 3,882 across 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2018 at 40.1% of renter households.
Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10. 17.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Among the 13 mapped neighborhoods of Trenton, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
