Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Demarest
roughly three in four of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Bergen County average of 46.6%. The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10.
The voucher gap is 69.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.6/10.
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. It sits 1.0 points below the Bergen County average of 6.3.
Housing insecurity runs 5.5% against 14.2% nationally. Court records carry 13 eviction filings across 5 observed years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The worst year on record was 2013, when 3.2% 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.
