Downtown Eviction Risk: Elevated , Hoboken

The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. Average gross rent is $2,061, 30% below the Hoboken average. Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10. 68% 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.

Running cool, economic stress reads 2.3/10. SNAP participation runs 6.0% against 15.2% nationally.

Against the Hudson County average of 7.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. Court records carry 168 eviction filings across 4 observed years.

Food insecurity runs 10.8% against 17.8% nationally. Filings peaked in 2017 at 5.1% 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 3.7% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #13,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 5.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
