Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Waterford

The voucher gap is 35.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.1/10.

Running hot, supply constraint reads 8.6/10. The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.3/10. SNAP participation runs 5.2% against 15.2% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 6.1% against 14.2% nationally.

It sits 0.8 points below the Brunswick County average of 3.8. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 15% 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 2.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
