Paterson Eviction Risk: High

It sits 2.6 points above the Passaic County average of 6.7. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.1/10.

Against Passaic County at 49.2%, 61% of renters here are cost-burdened. Adults with no health insurance runs 29.1% against 11.3% nationally.

76% 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. SNAP participation runs 30.7% against 15.2% nationally.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

Princeton eviction risk's Eviction Lab logged 701 filings here across 5 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2013 at 16.6% of renter households. In a typical year about 14.5% of renter households face a filing.

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 9.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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