The Ponds is a one-tract neighborhood of Concordia, NJ and houses 3,627 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.7/10, Elevated tier. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.4/10. 17% 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. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for roughly one in three of renter households.
2.1% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. SNAP participation is 3.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Court records for this tract carry 4 eviction filings.
Average gross rent is $1,849, 13% below the Concordia average of $2,130. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 1.5% of renter households. At 19% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 6.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
