Perdicaris Place Eviction Risk: High , Trenton

The severe-burden share is 31%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.3/10. Food insecurity runs 39.2% against 17.8% nationally.

Annualized rent equals 42% of average household income of $30,644, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. This is renter territory: 82% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Housing insecurity runs 31.4% against 14.2% nationally. 57% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Mercer County average of 46.5%.

The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10.

Average gross rent is $1,070, 17% below the Trenton average. The filing record is not thin: 1,699 evictions over 6 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2018 at 40.1% 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.
