Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Park Village
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Union County average of 6.6 and above the New Jersey statewide average of 6.6. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
The tract is Hispanic or Latino and Black and ranks around the 89th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.
Princeton eviction risk's Eviction Lab logged 723 eviction filings here over 4 tracked years, with about 13.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 13.8% of renter households in 2013.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
