Pine Terrace maps to a single census tract in Toms River, NJ, population 4,988. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, Lower tier. Against a Toms River baseline of 29.1%, 69% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
33% 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. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.3/10.
At $2,264 a month, rents sit 31% over what the rest of Toms River commands. The filing record is not thin: 526 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 5.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Filing activity peaked in 2017 at 35.4% of renter households. The voucher gap is 11.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Recent filings have not receded much: 31.7% in 2018 against a 35.4% peak.
That places it #8 of 17 neighborhoods in Toms River. At 12% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are White Oak Bottom and Dover Shores.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $102,101.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
