What drives eviction risk in Perdicaris Place
Average gross rent is $777, 40% below the Trenton average. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.3/10.
28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. This is renter territory: 80% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 23.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 2,183 evictions over 6 years of observation. Adults with no health insurance runs 18.9% against 11.3% nationally.
Filings peaked in 2016 at 37.4% of renter households. This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Trenton. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
