Cadwalader Heights Eviction Risk: High , Trenton

At $661 a month, rents run 49% under what the rest of Trenton commands. Housing insecurity runs 38.8% against 14.2% nationally.

Severe burden reaches 33%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 45%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Mercer County average of 5.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.7 points.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 30.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.3/10. 83% 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.

Against Mercer County at 46.5%, 58% of renters here are cost-burdened. Set annual rent against average income of $22,112 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Court records carry 3,941 eviction filings across 6 observed years. Filings peaked in 2014 at 52.3% of renter households.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
