Fletcher Eviction Risk: Lower

At $1,003 a month, rents run 32% under what the rest of Fletcher commands. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.6/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10. It sits 0.9 points below the Henderson County average of 4.0.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 259 filings here across 15 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2002, when 13.1% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 5.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 22nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 15% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
