Hamilton Park Eviction Risk: High , Jersey City

Average gross rent is $1,379, 31% below the Jersey City average. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. This is renter territory: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 54% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Hudson County average of 46.5%.

The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Hudson County average of 7.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.6 points. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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.

That is riskier than roughly 92% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 7.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the NJ average is 6.0, so this tract runs 2.3 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $91,824.

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.
