Deaver View Eviction Risk: Moderate , Asheville

The clearest offset is state political climate at 2.3/10. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Against the Buncombe County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.4/10. Average gross rent is $1,123, 20% below the Asheville average.

The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 1,073 evictions over 11 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2002 at 30.2% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 17.7% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #23,808 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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.
