Stockwood is a one-tract neighborhood of Asheville, NC and houses 5,367 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, Moderate tier. Against a Asheville baseline of 31.7%, 76% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
35% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10.
Court records for this tract carry 784 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 10.6% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.8% in 2013, is well off that peak.
Average gross rent is $1,296, 8% below the Asheville average of $1,402. Among the 18 mapped neighborhoods of Asheville, it ranks #11 by risk, the middle third. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $57,945. 42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
