Rolling Hill Eviction Risk: Moderate

4 census tracts · pop 19,502 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5/10 · range 4–5.9

Rolling Hill takes in 4 census tracts of Chatham, NJ, population 19,502. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 50% against 22.2% citywide, putting Rolling Hill 27.9% over its own city.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. 26% 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.

The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4 to 5.9, a 1.9-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The voucher gap is 20.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 4.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Disability prevalence reaches 16.5% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Court records carry 30 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.1/10.

At $2,585 a month, rents sit 15% over what the rest of Chatham commands. The worst year on record was 2018, when filings touched 3.3% of renter households. Only 14% 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.

Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.9 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
