Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Pine Terrace

The score leans hardest on eviction process difficulty at 6.9/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Toms River eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Princeton eviction risk's Eviction Lab logged 526 eviction filings here over 6 tracked years, with about 29.2% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 35.4% of renter households in 2017.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 23rd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
