Dublin Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 7,392 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.8/10 · range 4.8–6.9

Dublin is a 2-tract neighborhood of Morristown, NJ and houses 7,392 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.8/10, in the Moderate tier. The voucher gap is 35.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.1/10. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 26% of renter households.

On the high side is supply constraint at 8.6/10. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.8 to 6.9, a 2.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

Average gross rent is $2,899, 27% above the Morristown average of $2,274. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Filings are well documented here: 28 across 2 observed tracts.

Disability prevalence reaches 18.6% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Severe burden reaches 10%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Filing activity peaked in 2018 at 2.9% of renter households.

Only 22% 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.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
