Analysis
What drives eviction risk in North Arlington
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10. Cost burden runs 52% here against 46.6% across Bergen County.
SNAP participation runs 6.5% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 0.9 points above the Bergen County average of 6.3.
Princeton eviction risk's Eviction Lab logged 298 filings here across 5 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2018 at 5.9% 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 5.3% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
