North Arlington Eviction Risk: Elevated

Cost burden runs roughly one in three here against 46.6% across Bergen County. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.2/10.

15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10. SNAP participation runs 5.1% against 15.2% nationally.

The filing record is not thin: 244 evictions over 5 years of observation. Food insecurity runs 10.0% against 17.8% nationally. The worst year on record was 2014, when 7.7% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Hudson 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. In a typical year about 4.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 83% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 4.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Poverty sits at 5%, 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 $1,720, close to the North Arlington 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.
