Maple Shade maps to a single census tract in Toms River, NJ, population 5,740. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Toms River baseline of 29.1%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.3/10. The severe-burden share is 12%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Court records for this tract carry 935 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 20.5% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 9.7% in 2018, is well off that peak. That places it #5 of 17 neighborhoods in Toms River. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,702, close to the Toms River average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $81,420.
51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
