Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Clifton

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. The severe-burden share is 17%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. It sits 1.5 points below the Passaic County average of 6.7.

At $1,318 a month, rents run 23% under what the rest of Clifton commands. SNAP participation runs 8.2% against 15.2% nationally.

That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 20% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.3/10.

Against average income of $118,531, annual rent is just 13%. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
