Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Southwest Ridgewood
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10.
SNAP participation runs 4.0% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 7.4% against 17.8% nationally. On the softer side, housing-court posture reads 2.7/10.
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. Nationally it ranks #20,506 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Bergen County average of 6.3 closely. Average gross rent is $1,885, close to the Midland Park average.
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.
