Cutler Park takes in 4 census tracts of Morristown, NJ, population 12,503. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.8/10, Elevated tier. 42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Morristown rate of 26.9%.
Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 5.5 to 8.7. A 3.2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10. 21% 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.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.4/10. Filings are well documented here: 142 across 2 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2018, when filings touched 7.9% of renter households. At $2,091 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Morristown commands. The closest comparables inside the same city are Morris Place and Dublin.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $107,737. 61% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 3.2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
