Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ocean Heights Manor

The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Princeton eviction risk's Eviction Lab logged 520 eviction filings here over 6 tracked years, with about 15.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 18.0% of renter households in 2017.
