What drives eviction risk in Koreatown
On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.2/10. The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10. SNAP participation runs 5.6% against 15.2% nationally. 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.
Nationally it ranks #13,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 3.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for about half of renters. It tracks the Bergen County average of 6.3 closely.
Average gross rent is $2,073, close to the Ridgefield 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.
