· range 9–9.2
Greenville spans 2 census tracts of Lakewood, NJ and houses 21,627 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 9.1/10, High tier. The severe-burden share is 51%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Cost burden runs 70% against 49.1% citywide, putting Greenville 20.9% over its own city. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 9.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 9.3/10. Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Food insecurity affects 25.9% of adults, 8.1 points above the national rate.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.2 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $1,634, close to the Lakewood average. 60% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 9.1/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
