Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Downtown Jersey City
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. At $2,723 a month, rents run 36% over what the rest of Jersey City commands. This is renter territory: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10.
SNAP participation runs 3.4% against 15.2% nationally. The voucher gap is 18.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Food insecurity runs 7.6% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 1.1 points below the Hudson County average of 7.7. Court records carry 202 eviction filings across 4 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2014 at 2.9% of renter households. 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.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
