North End Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 5,104 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.3/10 · range 7.3–7.3

North End maps to a single census tract in Phillipsburg, NJ and houses 5,104 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.3/10, Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 50% against 31.8% citywide, putting North End 18.3% over its own city.

The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.2/10.

Court records for this tract carry 883 eviction filings. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.7/10. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 23.8% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 17.2% in 2018 against a 23.8% peak. The closest comparables inside the same city are Hillcrest and Dishwater Hill.

Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $1,215, close to the Phillipsburg average. 35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.3/10 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.
