Stonehurst takes in 2 census tracts of West Freehold, NJ and houses 8,497 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 62% against 32.9% citywide, putting Stonehurst 28.8% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 35%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 112 evictions logged in this tract.
SNAP participation is 5.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 14.8% of renter households.
Food insecurity affects 9.4% of adults, 8.4 points below the national rate. At $1,913 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of West Freehold commands. The most recent observed rate, 4.2% in 2018, is well off that peak.
At 24% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $149,631, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 2 tracts score within 0.1 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
With little internal variation, 5.4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
