Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Pinehurst
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.9/10. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 2.5/10.
Food insecurity runs 8.0% against 17.8% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 19 evictions over 5 years of observation. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.3% against 11.3% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2013, when 14.3% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 10.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 22nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Only 1% 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. Social vulnerability reads 1.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 3.1 points cooler.
