Hamilton Park Eviction Risk: Elevated , Jersey City

What pushes it up most is supply constraint at 10/10. Average gross rent is $3,456, 72% above the Jersey City average.

The voucher gap is 50.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. This is renter territory: 100% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Court records carry 342 eviction filings across 4 observed years. SNAP participation runs 7.5% against 15.2% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2016, when 9.6% of renter households were served. 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.

In a typical year about 9.9% of renter households face a filing.

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.
