Fayetteville Eviction Risk: Moderate

At $655 a month, rents run 48% under what the rest of Fayetteville commands. Food insecurity runs 49.7% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 55.6% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 47%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.3/10.

Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. 76% 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.

Set annual rent against average income of $24,044 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Against the Cumberland County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 3,203 filings here across 16 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2016, when 37.5% of renter households were served.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
