Fayetteville Eviction Risk: Moderate

Cost burden runs 60% here against 45.9% across Cumberland County. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Set annual rent against average income of $39,688 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

SNAP participation runs 26.4% against 15.2% nationally. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.3/10. Food insecurity runs 28.2% against 17.8% nationally.

Against the Cumberland County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,839 filings here across 16 tracked years.

Average gross rent is $1,109, 11% below the Fayetteville average. Filings peaked in 2017 at 34.0% of renter households.

In a typical year about 21.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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