Menlo Park Eviction Risk: Moderate , Iselin

Cost burden runs 77% here against 44.9% across Middlesex County. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.6/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9/10.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.5/10. Princeton eviction risk's Eviction Lab logged 12 filings here across 1 tracked years. SNAP participation runs 6.9% against 15.2% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2015, when 109.1% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 109.1% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 72nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 10% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 5.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Middlesex County average of 5.7 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,879, close to the Menlo Park Terrace average.

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.
