Clarks Landing Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,957 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.8–4.8

Clarks Landing is a one-tract neighborhood of Brielle, NJ, population 4,957. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Brielle baseline of 38.6%, 62% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

32% 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. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 30.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 8/10. Food insecurity affects 5.7% of adults, 12.1 points below the national rate.

The filing record is not thin: 29 evictions logged in this tract. 3.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filing activity peaked in 2018 at 11.2% of renter households.

At 8% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent runs $2,655, close to the Brielle average.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 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.
