Eastwind is a one-tract neighborhood of Toms River, NJ, population 4,415. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. Average gross rent is $2,714, 57% above the Toms River average of $1,731.
The voucher gap is 33.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
38% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Toms River rate of 29.1%. Running hot is supply constraint at 8.3/10.
The filing record is not thin: 65 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 5.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2018, when filings touched 13.9% of renter households. That places it #14 of 17 neighborhoods in Toms River. Judgments average 0.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
At 15% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $126,295.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
