Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Morris Place

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. 69% 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. Disability prevalence runs 16.2% against 31.5% nationally.

Cost burden runs roughly one in three here against 40.8% across Morris County. It sits 1.5 points above the Morris County average of 5.5.

Food insecurity runs 7.3% against 17.8% nationally. The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.1/10. Nationally it ranks #12,919 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2/10. Statewide the NJ average is 6.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $2,354, close to the Morristown average.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $125,333.

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.
