Sunrise Beach Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 9,247 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.7/10 · range 3.3–3.9

Sunrise Beach is a 2-tract neighborhood of Forked River, NJ and houses 9,247 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.

Against a Forked River baseline of 24.3%, 32% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Court records carry 169 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. SNAP participation is 5.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,900, 12% below the Forked River average of $2,170.

Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 10.4% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.3% of adults, 8.5 points below the national rate. The most recent observed rate, 4.9% in 2018, is well off that peak.

Only 10% 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 like-for-like read, Barnegat Pines and Pheasant Run score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Its 2 tracts score within 0.6 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $104,194.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
