Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Belhaven
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.3/10. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.9/10. Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.2/10. It sits 1.2 points below the Atlantic County average of 5.5.
Court records carry 375 eviction filings across 6 observed years. Cost burden runs 53% here against 48.9% across Atlantic County. The worst year on record was 2018, when 17.3% of renter households were served.
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. In a typical year about 13.6% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 47th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 6.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the NJ average is 6.0, so this tract runs 1.7 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
