What drives eviction risk in New Milford
At $3,164 a month, rents run 79% over what the rest of New Milford commands. The voucher gap is 52.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10.
SNAP participation runs 5.3% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 7 evictions over 4 years of observation.
It sits 0.8 points below the Bergen County average of 6.3. Filings peaked in 2014 at 11.1% of renter households. 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.
In a typical year about 4.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 72nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 6% 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 2.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
