Hamilton Park Eviction Risk: Elevated , Jersey City

At $3,222 a month, rents run 61% over what the rest of Jersey City commands. The voucher gap is 40.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 9/10. This is renter territory: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Disability prevalence runs 14.6% against 31.5% nationally.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10. SNAP participation runs 3.7% against 15.2% nationally.

It sits 1.1 points below the Hudson County average of 7.7. 10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

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. Nationally it ranks #14,906 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 2.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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