Port Ivory Eviction Risk: High , Elizabeth

Housing insecurity runs 36.4% against 14.2% nationally. It sits 2.5 points above the Union County average of 6.6. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.9/10.

56% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Union County average of 44.6%. This is renter territory: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Set annual rent against average income of $65,169 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10.

At $1,818 a month, rents run 19% over what the rest of Elizabeth commands. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 7.5/10. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
