Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Havelock
The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. 95% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. 55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Craven County average of 41.4%.
The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 1.8 points above the Craven County average of 4.2.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.2/10. Average gross rent is $1,400, 9% above the Havelock average.
Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 4.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 2.0 points hotter.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
