What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.2/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2/10. 16% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent.

Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 4.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.2% in 2018, is well off that peak. Against average income of $85,446, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion.

Average gross rent runs $1,399, close to the Hackettstown average. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
