Forest Hill Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,043 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.4/10 · range 3.4–3.4

Forest Hill maps to a single census tract in Succasunna, NJ and houses 5,043 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs around a third against 20.0% citywide, putting Forest Hill 16.0% over its own city.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.3/10. The severe-burden share is 14%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

The filing record is not thin: 4 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 4.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.6/10.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The voucher gap is 11.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The worst year on record was 2017, when filings touched 12.0% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 4.0% in 2018, is well off that peak. Only 3% 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. Against average income of $165,781, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,391, close to the Succasunna average.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
