Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Southwest Ridgewood

Disability prevalence runs 15.6% against 31.5% nationally. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10.

It sits 1.2 points below the Bergen County average of 6.3. Court records carry 9 eviction filings across 4 observed years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The worst year on record was 2015, when 15.8% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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.

In a typical year about 10.3% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 2% of units are renter-occupied.
