The Heights Eviction Risk: High , Jersey City

The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10. 52% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Hudson County average of 46.5%. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Hudson 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the NJ average is 6.0, so this tract runs 2.0 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Hudson County average of 7.7 closely.

Average gross rent is $2,021, close to the Jersey City average. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $85,353.

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.
