Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Roanoke Rapids
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.3/10. At $590 a month, rents run 31% under what the rest of Roanoke Rapids commands.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10. The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Against the Halifax County average of 4.5, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. Court records carry 320 eviction filings across 14 observed years. The worst year on record was 2004, when 10.2% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 4.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #56,048 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Only 21% 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 7.1/10.
Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $60,135, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
