Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Rolling Hill

What moves this score most is eviction process difficulty at 6.6/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Morris County average of 5.8 and below the New Jersey statewide average of 6.6. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 8th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.

Princeton eviction risk's Eviction Lab logged 5 eviction filings here over 2 tracked years, with about 1.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 2.2% of renter households in 2017.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
