New Brunswick Eviction Risk: High

Against the Middlesex County average of 5.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 4.0 points. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.9/10. 60% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Middlesex County average of 44.9%.

85% 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. On the high side, economic stress reads 9.1/10. The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9/10. Court records carry 54 eviction filings across 1 observed years. Filings peaked in 2015 at 5.3% of renter households.

In a typical year about 5.3% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 97th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 5.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the NJ average is 6.0, so this tract runs 3.7 points hotter.

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