Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Crest Street
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 36.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 100% 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.

On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.1/10. It sits 1.1 points below the Durham County average of 4.1.
Court records carry 1 eviction filings across 1 observed years. Filings peaked in 2016 at 5.9% of renter households.
