South Seaside Park Eviction Risk: Elevated

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.9/10. SNAP participation runs 3.3% against 15.2% nationally.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.2/10. 11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Against the Ocean County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Average gross rent is $1,813, 9% above the Seaside Park average. Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 8% 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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

about half of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $81,250.

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.
