Analysis
What drives eviction risk in West Englewood Park
At $2,329 a month, rents run 32% over what the rest of New Milford commands. The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.7/10. SNAP participation runs 4.6% against 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity runs 9.3% against 17.8% nationally. The voucher gap is 12.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Bergen Co. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
On the national scale it lands near the 74th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 21% 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 3.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
