Whittier Oaks Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 7,320 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.7/10 · range 3.7–3.7

Whittier Oaks is a one-tract neighborhood of Robertsville, NJ and houses 7,320 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.7/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.

16% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, below the Robertsville rate of 25.4%. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.3/10. SNAP participation is 3.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Court records for this tract carry 6 eviction filings. The severe-burden share is 11%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 3.5% 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.

Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 1.8% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 2.1% in 2018 against a 1.8% peak.

Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Robertsville, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third. Only 4% 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. The closest comparables inside the same city are Highland Crest and Marlboro Manor.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.7/10 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.
