Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Catawba
What moves this score most is housing court bias at 7.1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Catawba, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Catawba County average of 5.0 and above the North Carolina statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 307 eviction filings here over 16 tracked years, with about 5.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 7.3% of renter households in 2014.
In CDC survey modeling, about 10.1% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 6.6% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
