Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fayetteville

Severe burden reaches 33%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 44%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. 74% 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.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,823 filings here across 16 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2002 at 27.0% of renter households.
