Long Beach Eviction Risk: Moderate , Oak Island

69% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Brunswick County average of 40.6%. The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 9.1/10. At $893 a month, rents run 33% under what the rest of Oak Island commands.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 2/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.2/10. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Against the Brunswick County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Food insecurity runs 10.8% against 17.8% nationally. Nationally it ranks #34,278 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 19% 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 5.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
