Great Notch Eviction Risk: Lower

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.1/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.2/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10.

Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. SNAP participation runs 4.8% against 15.2% nationally. Against Passaic County at 49.2%, 54% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Average gross rent is $2,330, 13% above the Great Notch average. The voucher gap is 12.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Essex Co. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

On the national scale it lands near the 31st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.6/10. Statewide the NJ average is 6.0, so this tract runs 2.5 points cooler.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
