· range 3–3
Briarcrest maps to a single census tract in Ramtown, NJ, population 6,537. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 47%. 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 1/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10.
The filing record is not thin: 1 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 5.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 1.0% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.7% of adults, 8.1 points below the national rate. 47% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
At 4% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
