East Gate is a one-tract neighborhood of Oceanport, NJ and houses 5,924 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 20% against 51.0% citywide, putting East Gate 30.8% under its own city.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.4/10.
The filing record is not thin: 16 evictions logged in this tract. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 6.5% of adults, 11.3 points below the national rate.
Filing activity peaked in 2018 at 2.2% of renter households. At 4% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 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.
