Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Downtown

At $3,501 a month, rents run 74% over what the rest of Jersey City commands. The voucher gap is 52.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. This is renter territory: 75% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. Cost burden runs 37% here against 46.5% across Hudson County.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10. The severe-burden share is 17%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

SNAP participation runs 3.7% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 9.1% against 17.8% nationally.

It sits 0.7 points below the Hudson County average of 7.7. 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.

Nationally it ranks #12,919 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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.
