Atlantic City Hills Eviction Risk: High , Pleasantville

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. 29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.3/10.

The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Set annual rent against average income of $52,764 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

On the high side, economic stress reads 8.9/10. This is renter territory: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Cost burden runs 57% here against 48.9% across Atlantic County.

At $1,618 a month, rents run 19% over what the rest of Pleasantville commands. Adults with no health insurance runs 21.3% against 11.3% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.

That is riskier than roughly 93% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.7/10. Statewide the NJ average is 6.0, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
