What drives eviction risk in East Ferry
85% 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. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $57,708, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10. At $1,626 a month, rents run 27% under what the rest of Harrison commands.
The severe-burden share is 17%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.1/10.
Against the Hudson County average of 7.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. The filing record is not thin: 141 evictions over 4 years of observation.
Adults with no health insurance runs 19.4% against 11.3% nationally. Filings peaked in 2018 at 2.8% 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.
