· range 5.2–5.2
Laurel Park maps to a single census tract in Sayreville, NJ, population 3,307. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. 100% 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.
Against a Sayreville baseline of 31.1%, 100% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.2/10.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 3 evictions logged in this tract.
SNAP participation is 5.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 4.8% of renter households.
That places it #9 of 10 neighborhoods in Sayreville. At 2% 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: 5.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
