Clifton Eviction Risk: Moderate

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.1/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.3/10. Against the Passaic County average of 6.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.5 points.

Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. SNAP participation runs 5.6% against 15.2% nationally.

On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 21% 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 3.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $132,966, annual rent is just 17%.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing 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 $1,840, close to the Clifton average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
