Tanners Corner is a one-tract neighborhood of South River, NJ and houses 4,566 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a South River baseline of 33.3%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.5/10. 21% 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. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.1/10.
Court records for this tract carry 27 eviction filings. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.3/10. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 6.1% of renter households.
At $1,553 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of South River commands. At 20% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
