The Oaks at Stafford is a one-tract neighborhood of Ocean Acres, NJ and houses 7,865 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. 50% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Against a Ocean Acres baseline of 51.0%, 83% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. 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 tenant-organizing strength, at 2.2/10. SNAP participation is 5.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 9.5% of adults, 8.3 points below the national rate. At 4% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,165, close to the Ocean Acres average.
One tract means one number: 3.2/10 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.
