Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Radburn

32% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Bergen County average of 46.6%. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10. SNAP participation runs 4.3% against 15.2% nationally.

Average gross rent is $2,250, 17% above the Fair Lawn average. Food insecurity runs 8.3% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 0.9 points below the Bergen County average of 6.3.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Bergen Co. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 2% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $151,395, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
