What drives eviction risk in Cousins Island
Against the Cumberland County average of 5.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points. Severe burden reaches 12%.

Running cool, court filing pressure reads 2.8/10. Housing insecurity runs 5.6% against 14.2% nationally. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.1/10.

Social vulnerability reads 2.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
