Adults with no health insurance runs 24.0% against 11.3% nationally. Princeton eviction risk's Eviction Lab logged 796 filings here across 6 tracked years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

At $1,210 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Pleasantville commands. The worst year on record was 2018, when 22.6% of renter households were served. 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.
