Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Passaic

Adults with no health insurance runs 43.5% against 11.3% nationally. SNAP participation runs 38.2% against 15.2% nationally.

Against the Passaic County average of 6.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.6 points. 93% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.1/10.

Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.4/10.

At $1,321 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Passaic commands. That is riskier than roughly 96% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the NJ average is 6.0, so this tract runs 3.3 points hotter.

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