Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Swann's Mill

Against Durham County at 43.8%, 57% of renters here are cost-burdened. Set annual rent against average income of $47,324 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

68% 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 softer side, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.1/10.

It sits 1.3 points above the Durham County average of 4.1. The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Court records carry 6,636 eviction filings across 11 observed years. SNAP participation runs 23.5% against 15.2% nationally.

Average gross rent is $1,284, 15% below the Durham average. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2005 at 62.1% of renter households.

In a typical year about 36.7% of renter households face a filing.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
