Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hilltop
Severe burden reaches 33%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10. Average gross rent is $2,479, 24% above the Jersey City average. Disability prevalence runs 19.5% against 31.5% nationally.
SNAP participation runs 5.8% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 62 evictions over 4 years of observation. It sits 0.7 points below the Hudson County average of 7.7.
The worst year on record was 2017, when 11.4% 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 7.3% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 85th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
