What drives eviction risk in Uptown
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. This is renter territory: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The voucher gap is 27.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 7.8/10. SNAP participation runs 4.6% against 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity runs 8.6% against 17.8% nationally. 8% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Against the Hudson County average of 7.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points. 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. That is riskier than roughly 85% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the NJ average is 6.0, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
