Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mebane
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 8.3/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Alamance County average of 5.2 and above the North Carolina statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
The tract is White and Black and ranks around the 46th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,109 eviction filings here over 17 tracked years, with about 16.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 18.7% of renter households in 2018.
