White Oak Bottom maps to a single census tract in Toms River, NJ, population 6,820. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Toms River baseline of 29.1%, 75% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Average gross rent is $2,685, 55% above the Toms River average of $1,731. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
The voucher gap is 31.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the high side is supply constraint at 8.2/10.
16% 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. The filing record is not thin: 54 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 5.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Filing activity peaked in 2018 at 6.3% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.6% of adults, 8.2 points below the national rate. Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of Toms River, it ranks #8 by risk, the middle third.
One tract means one number: 3.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
