Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Jersey City

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. 36% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Hudson County average of 46.5%. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10.

Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10. Average gross rent is $1,842, 8% below the Jersey City average.

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. That is riskier than roughly 88% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.7/10. Statewide the NJ average is 6.0, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.

It tracks the Hudson County average of 7.7 closely. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $109,745.

48% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
