Analysis
What drives eviction risk in West Milford
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.6/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.2/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.3/10.
At $585 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of West Milford commands. Nationally it ranks #54,273 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 5% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $58,712, annual rent is just 12%. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
34% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Harrison County average of 3.7 closely.
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.
