Asbury Park Eviction Risk: High

Against the Monmouth County average of 5.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 3.5 points. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. 33% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

92% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Set annual rent against average income of $38,409 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.1/10.

At $1,245 a month, rents run 28% under what the rest of Asbury Park commands. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10.

Housing insecurity runs 28.0% against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Princeton eviction risk's Eviction Lab logged 273 filings here across 2 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2013 at 22.3% of renter households.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
