Brentwood Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,845 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.2/10 · range 4.2–4.2

Brentwood maps to a single census tract in Tarboro, NC, population 3,845. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 49% against 35.3% citywide, putting Brentwood 14.1% over its own city.

The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $569, 33% below the Tarboro average of $843. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.

19% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10. The poverty rate is 22%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

The filing record is not thin: 1,175 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 26.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 28.3% of adults, 10.5 points above the national rate.

Filing activity peaked in 2017 at 43.1% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 36.5% in 2018 against a 43.1% peak. The closest comparables inside the same city are Panola Heights and Woodgreen.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
