Parkers Creek Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 11,511 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.9/10 · range 3.4–6.5

Parkers Creek spans 2 census tracts of Little Silver, NJ and houses 11,511 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. The voucher gap is 44.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Against a Little Silver baseline of 18.1%, 30% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.4 to 6.5, a 3.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.2/10.

Running hot is supply constraint at 8.3/10. Court records carry 60 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Average gross rent is $2,942, 16% below the Little Silver average of $3,501.

Food insecurity affects 6.2% of adults, 11.6 points below the national rate. 3.9% 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.

Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.9/10. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 8.4% of renter households.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 3.1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
