Colgate Center Eviction Risk: Elevated , Jersey City

The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. Average gross rent is $3,501, 74% above the Jersey City average.

The voucher gap is 52.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.

75% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. Food insecurity runs 5.4% against 17.8% nationally.

It sits 1.1 points below the Hudson County average of 7.7. 9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 149 evictions over 4 years of observation.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2014 at 2.4% of renter households.

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