Indian Square Eviction Risk: High , Jersey City

What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10.

19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against the Hudson County average of 7.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.6 points.

The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 38% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Hudson County average of 46.5%.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10. At $1,732 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Jersey City commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.

Nationally it ranks #3,082 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 8.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the NJ average is 6.0, so this tract runs 3.3 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

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