Teachers Village Eviction Risk: High , Newark

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. This is renter territory: 98% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

It sits 2.6 points above the Essex County average of 7.3. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Average gross rent is $962, 31% below the Newark average. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 28%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Food insecurity runs 31.7% against 17.8% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Court records carry 387 eviction filings across 6 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2017, when 11.3% of renter households were served.

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.
