Contempra is a one-tract neighborhood of Strathmore, NJ, population 4,598. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.2/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 29%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. At $1,998 a month, rents sit 26% over what the rest of Strathmore commands.
SNAP participation is 3.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 6 evictions logged in this tract. Disability prevalence reaches 18.9% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
Filing activity peaked in 2018 at 1.2% of renter households. 36% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
At 21% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $140,313, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
