Passaic Eviction Risk: High

Housing insecurity runs 44.3% against 14.2% nationally. It sits 2.6 points above the Passaic County average of 6.7.

This is renter territory: 97% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.1/10.

The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the high side, economic stress reads 9.1/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 26.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Set annual rent against average income of $58,547 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Cost burden runs 57% here against 49.2% across Passaic County. Average gross rent is $1,588, 8% above the Passaic average. Nationally it ranks #3,082 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.4/10.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
