Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Radburn
Cost burden runs 88% here against 46.6% across Bergen County. At $2,612 a month, rents run 36% over what the rest of Fair Lawn commands.
What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. The voucher gap is 26.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.8/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10.
SNAP participation runs 4.2% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 8.4% against 17.8% nationally.
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. That is riskier than roughly 74% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 5% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 3.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
