Teachers Village Eviction Risk: High , Newark

Set annual rent against average income of $27,917 and the ratio lands at 52%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Cost burden runs roughly two in three here against 50.3% across Essex County. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10.

This is renter territory: 100% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. SNAP participation runs 38.4% against 15.2% nationally.

Against the Essex County average of 7.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.6 points. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10.

Housing insecurity runs 33.1% against 14.2% nationally. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. The poverty rate is 33%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

The filing record is not thin: 1,392 evictions over 6 years of observation. Average gross rent is $1,212, 13% below the Newark average.

The worst year on record was 2018, when 34.0% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 26.7% of renter households face a filing.

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.
