Stone Water takes in 2 census tracts of Landing, NJ, population 9,154. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.5/10, in the Elevated tier. The severe-burden share is 45%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Cost burden runs 65% against 51.0% citywide, putting Stone Water 14.2% over its own city. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2/10. Court records for this tract carry 61 eviction filings. SNAP participation is 6.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2017, when filings touched 10.8% of renter households. At $1,965 a month, rents sit 9% over what the rest of Landing commands. Recent filings have not receded much: 7.0% in 2018 against a 10.8% peak.
At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Its 2 tracts score within 0.1 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $99,153.
With little internal variation, 6.5/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
