Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.8/10. The poverty rate is 43%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
This is renter territory: 95% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10.
Set annual rent against average income of $30,865 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 23.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,951 filings here across 8 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2002 at 62.4% of renter households.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
