Chelsea Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 8 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.6/10 · range 6.6–6.6

Chelsea maps to a single census tract in Carteret, NJ and houses 8 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.6/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Carteret baseline of 27.9%, 100% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

100% 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. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
