Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Parsippany

What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 9.2/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

In CDC survey modeling, about 8.0% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 4.4% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

Princeton eviction risk's Eviction Lab logged 26 eviction filings here over 2 tracked years, with about 17.6% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 17.6% of renter households in 2017.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
