Forest Ridge is a 2-tract neighborhood of Leisure Village, NJ and houses 9,932 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.1/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 73% against 51.0% citywide, putting Forest Ridge 21.8% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 36%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Set annual rent against average household income of $50,505 and the ratio lands at 41%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 33%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
The dominant input is economic stress at 8.4/10. Filings are well documented here: 582 across 2 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 8.5% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.0% in 2018, is well off that peak. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.3 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $1,720, close to the Leisure Village average. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
