Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hackensack
82% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Bergen County average of 46.6%. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10. It sits 0.9 points above the Bergen County average of 6.3. Court records carry 74 eviction filings across 5 observed years.
SNAP participation runs 8.0% against 15.2% nationally. Running cool, economic stress reads 3.1/10. At $2,148 a month, rents run 12% over what the rest of Hackensack commands.
The worst year on record was 2018, when 18.1% of renter households were served. 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.
In a typical year about 19.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 86% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 8% 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.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.4/10.
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.
