Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Woodrow

The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 8.1/10. 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 New Bern eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Craven County average of 5.4 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 96 eviction filings here over 2 tracked years, with about 7.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 7.6% of renter households in 2018.

In CDC survey modeling, about 22.8% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 18.3% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
