Paterson Eviction Risk: High

Against the Passaic County average of 6.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.6 points. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.1/10.

Food insecurity runs 37.2% against 17.8% nationally. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.

69% 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. The poverty rate is 28%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Adults with no health insurance runs 25.3% against 11.3% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10.

At $1,236 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of Paterson commands. Against Passaic County at 49.2%, 43% of renters here are cost-burdened. The filing record is not thin: 490 evictions over 5 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2016, when 16.3% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 13.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #3,082 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9/10.
