Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Oak Island
Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.2/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
It sits 0.7 points above the Brunswick County average of 3.8. That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. 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.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.1/10. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
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.
