Eatonbrook Eviction Risk: Elevated

3 census tracts · pop 13,717 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.2/10 · range 6.9–7.7

Eatonbrook spans 3 census tracts of Eatontown, NJ, population 13,717. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.2/10, Elevated tier. 42% 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.

Cost burden runs 58% against 28.2% citywide, putting Eatonbrook 30.1% over its own city. At $1,012 a month, rents sit 37% under what the rest of Eatontown commands. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.8/10.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Filings are well documented here: 604 across 3 observed tracts.

Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.4/10. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 39.6% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 7.7% in 2018, is well off that peak.

Against average income of $87,249, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.8 points apart at the extremes. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
