What drives eviction risk in McGinley Square
This is renter territory: 83% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Set annual rent against average income of $83,268 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10. At $2,561 a month, rents run 28% over what the rest of Jersey City commands.
Cost burden runs 55% here against 46.5% across Hudson County. On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10. Princeton eviction risk's Eviction Lab logged 306 filings here across 4 tracked years.
SNAP participation runs 7.8% against 15.2% nationally. Filings peaked in 2017 at 11.0% of renter households. 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 9.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 91% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
