Seawood Harbor Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 1,696 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.9/10 · range 4.9–4.9

Seawood Harbor is a one-tract neighborhood of Dover Beaches North, NJ, population 1,696. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 49%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9.6/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

The filing record is not thin: 11 evictions logged in this tract. 3.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 7.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.8% in 2018, is well off that peak.

Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 49% of renter households. At 15% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 4.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
