What drives eviction risk in Morningside Heights
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. On the high side, supply constraint reads 9.1/10. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Disability prevalence runs 15.1% against 31.5% nationally. 69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10.
Food insecurity runs 8.2% against 17.8% nationally. Cost burden runs 52% here against 46.6% across Bergen County. Against the Bergen County average of 6.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points.
At $2,922 a month, rents run 13% over what the rest of Edgewater commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. On the national scale it lands near the 85th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4/10. Statewide the NJ average is 6.0, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
