Edgebrook maps to a single census tract in New Brunswick, NJ and houses 2,477 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.2/10, High tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.9/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.3/10. On the high side is housing-court posture at 8.7/10.
The severe-burden share is 14%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Cost burden runs 40% against 35.2% citywide, putting Edgebrook 5.0% over its own city.
The filing record is not thin: 12 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 2.4% of renter households.
At $1,672 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of New Brunswick commands. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $94,744. 44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 8.2/10 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.
