Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Uptown

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10.

Food insecurity runs 5.8% against 17.8% nationally. Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

It sits 0.9 points below the Hudson County average of 7.7. At $2,512 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Hoboken commands.

Housing insecurity runs 6.3% against 14.2% nationally. 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 84% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.4/10. Against average income of $184,896, annual rent is just 16%.

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.
