Garfield Park Eviction Risk: High , Passaic

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.9/10. 64% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Passaic County average of 49.2%.

Against the Passaic County average of 6.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.6 points. This is renter territory: 96% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 42% of average household income of $39,097, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.1/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. Housing insecurity runs 28.5% against 14.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Princeton eviction risk's Eviction Lab logged 861 filings here across 5 tracked years.

SNAP participation runs 23.5% against 15.2% nationally. Filings peaked in 2016 at 17.9% of renter households.

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.
