Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tract 34023006209
80% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Middlesex County average of 44.9%. Annualized rent equals 58% of average household income of $55,208, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9/10. The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The voucher gap is 23.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
On the high side, supply constraint reads 7.4/10. Against the Middlesex County average of 5.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Food insecurity runs 25.6% against 17.8% nationally.
Nationally it ranks #13,349 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 9% 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.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.6/10. Statewide the NJ average is 6.0, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
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.
