About eviction risk in Conetoe, NC

Conetoe, NC has an eviction risk score of 7.0 out of 10, placing it in the high-risk tier for landlords operating in Edgecombe County and the state of North Carolina. The score combines local political climate, court disposition patterns, cost-of-eviction estimates, tenant organizing strength, and the likelihood of new tenant-protective legislation in the next legislative cycle.

Census ACS 2023 5-year estimates show median gross rent as a percentage of household income is 37.3% — a core driver of eviction filings, because households above 30% of income on rent are statistically more likely to miss a payment after any income shock. Median gross rent in Conetoe is $1,055/month. About 63.1% of occupied units here are renter-occupied.

Economic stress: poverty rate 73.0%, unemployment 3.0%. Higher values correlate with higher eviction filing rates and longer court timelines.

Political climate: In 2020, Edgecombe County voted Democratic by 27.0 points — classified as strongly tenant-leaning for purposes of rent-control or just-cause expansion risk.

What this score means for landlords

At 7.0/10, Conetoe is a high-risk environment. Expect exposure to just-cause requirements, relocation payments, extended notice periods, longer court timelines, and tenant attorneys contesting summary proceedings. Budget conservatively for cost and timeline, and audit lease addenda, disclosures, and notice templates against the latest state and local ordinances before any non-payment or holdover action.
