Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Mount Holly

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Gaston County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. On the national scale it lands near the 61st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 10% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.9/10.

Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

42% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $47,604.
