Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Harmony

The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 6.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Harmony, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Iredell County average of 5.1 and below the North Carolina statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 54 eviction filings here over 3 tracked years, with about 12.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 20.4% of renter households in 2002.

In CDC survey modeling, about 13.0% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 8.7% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
