Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Seaside Heights
It sits 3.7 points above the Ocean County average of 5.0. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10.
The poverty rate is 45%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 66% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Ocean County average of 50.5%. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.6/10.
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.6/10. 75% 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. Food insecurity runs 26.9% against 17.8% nationally.
SNAP participation runs 22.2% against 15.2% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 94% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.9/10.
Statewide the NJ average is 6.0, so this tract runs 2.7 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
