The voucher gap is 31.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. What pushes it up most is local political climate at 8.5/10.

This is renter territory: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 8.2/10.

Disability prevalence runs 18.0% against 31.5% nationally. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,074 filings here across 15 tracked years.

SNAP participation runs 8.2% against 15.2% nationally. Filings peaked in 2010 at 5.4% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
