What drives eviction risk in Port Ivory
Cost burden runs 61% here against 44.6% across Union County. It sits 2.5 points above the Union County average of 6.6. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.9/10.
Adults with no health insurance runs 31.0% against 11.3% nationally. This is renter territory: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.9/10.
The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation runs 25.3% against 15.2% nationally.
On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. That is riskier than roughly 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the NJ average is 6.0, so this tract runs 3.1 points hotter.
