Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Atlantic Heights
Severe burden reaches 32%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.6/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.7/10. It sits 1.3 points below the Ocean County average of 5.0. SNAP participation runs 5.1% against 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity runs 9.3% against 17.8% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 80 evictions over 6 years of observation.
The voucher gap is 15.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The worst year on record was 2015, when 5.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 4.4% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 35th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 7% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
