Garfield Park Eviction Risk: High

The severe-burden share is 28%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. It sits 2.1 points above the Bergen County average of 6.3.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10. Against Bergen County at 46.6%, 54% of renters here are cost-burdened.

The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.7/10. Princeton eviction risk's Eviction Lab logged 317 filings here across 5 tracked years.

Filings peaked in 2013 at 7.9% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.

In a typical year about 6.3% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 93rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the NJ average is 6.0, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

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.
