Yorktowne Poets is a 2-tract neighborhood of Englishtown, NJ, population 6,861. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.9/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 44% against 28.9% citywide, putting Yorktowne Poets 15.3% over its own city.

At $622 a month, rents sit 70% under what the rest of Englishtown commands. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3.8 to 7.4. A 3.6-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.9/10. Filings are well documented here: 91 across 2 observed tracts. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10.

SNAP participation is 6.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 21.1% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 7.0% in 2018, is well off that peak. Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Rent takes 5% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
