Passaic Eviction Risk: Elevated

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.9/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.1/10. At $1,931 a month, rents run 32% over what the rest of Passaic commands.

19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.6/10. SNAP participation runs 4.6% against 15.2% nationally.

The filing record is not thin: 9 evictions over 5 years of observation. Food insecurity runs 9.5% against 17.8% nationally. Filings peaked in 2013 at 6.3% of renter households.

In a typical year about 4.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 82nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 22% 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 1.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $148,438, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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