Georgetown Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,787 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.2/10 · range 3.2–3.2

Georgetown is a one-tract neighborhood of Toms River, NJ and houses 4,787 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Toms River baseline of 29.1%, 10% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

At $384 a month, rents sit 78% under what the rest of Toms River commands. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10. The filing record is not thin: 27 evictions logged in this tract.

SNAP participation is 4.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The severe-burden share is 10%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Food insecurity affects 7.8% of adults, 10.0 points below the national rate.

Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 4.1% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 5.1% in 2018 against a 4.1% peak.

Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of Toms River, it ranks #14 by risk, the lower third. At 6% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $113,977, annual rent is only 4%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
