Conover Eviction Risk: Lower

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.5/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.9/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10.

Against the Catawba County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. The filing record is not thin: 501 evictions over 16 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2002, when 22.6% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 10.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 22nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 8% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 5.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $64,642, annual rent is just 17%. Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most 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.
