Academy Heights Eviction Risk: High , Newark

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,611, 16% above the Newark average.

Against the Essex County average of 7.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Essex 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 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.6/10. Statewide the NJ average is 6.0, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
