East Ferry Eviction Risk: Elevated , Harrison

This is renter territory: 80% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 36% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Hudson County average of 46.5%. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10.

14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.6/10.

The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records carry 81 eviction filings across 4 observed years.

SNAP participation runs 8.0% against 15.2% nationally. Filings peaked in 2017 at 2.7% of renter households.

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. In a typical year about 2.3% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 88% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
