These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Uptown

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 52.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. SNAP participation runs 2.2% against 15.2% nationally.

Average gross rent is $3,501, 19% above the Hoboken average. Against the Hudson County average of 7.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points.

The filing record is not thin: 31 evictions over 4 years of observation. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2014, when 1.3% of renter households were served.

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 0.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 84th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
