Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ocean Acres

What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.6/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.3/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.7/10.

SNAP participation runs 5.6% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 9.4% against 17.8% nationally.

Against the Ocean County average of 5.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. That is riskier than roughly 47% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 5% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 4.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the NJ average is 6.0, so this tract runs 1.7 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 49% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

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.
