Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Vauxhall

The heaviest input here is rent-control risk at 8.7/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Vauxhall, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Essex County average of 7.3 and below the New Jersey statewide average of 6.6. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 8.1% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 4.7% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

Princeton eviction risk's Eviction Lab logged 125 eviction filings here over 6 tracked years, with about 17.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 25.9% of renter households in 2014.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
