La Mer is a one-tract neighborhood of Sayreville, NJ and houses 3,511 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.1/10, in the Elevated tier. 53% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Sayreville rate of 31.1%.
Average gross rent is $2,622, 53% above the Sayreville average of $1,711. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
The voucher gap is 20.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.8/10.
Running hot is supply constraint at 7.1/10. That places it #4 of 10 neighborhoods in Sayreville. The closest comparables inside the same city are Thomas J. Dohany Homes and Presidents Park.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $105,491. 52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
