Boiling Springs Eviction Risk: Lower

At $851 a month, rents run 29% under what the rest of Boiling Springs commands. The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.2/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

It sits 0.9 points below the Cleveland County average of 3.9. The filing record is not thin: 171 evictions over 16 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2002, when 16.3% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 6.6% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 19% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $70,377, annual rent is just 15%. Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.

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.
