Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Liberty
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.3/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.4/10. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 504 filings here across 6 tracked years. At $756 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of Liberty commands.
The worst year on record was 2014, when 34.0% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 30.0% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #44,239 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 17% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
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.
