Raintree Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 4,342 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7/10 · range 7–7

Raintree maps to a single census tract in West Freehold, NJ and houses 4,342 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7/10, in the Elevated tier. 41% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

Cost burden runs 73% against 32.9% citywide, putting Raintree 40.4% over its own city. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $66,821 and the ratio lands at 43%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.3/10. The voucher gap is 17.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Court records for this tract carry 34 eviction filings. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 7.8% of adults, 10.0 points below the national rate.

Average gross rent is $2,397, 12% above the West Freehold average of $2,144. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 5.0% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 1.9% in 2018, is well off that peak.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 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.
