Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mooresville
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.6/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 2/10. Court records carry 114 eviction filings across 3 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2002 at 17.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 14.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 46% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.1/10. Against average income of $77,075, annual rent is just 15%. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 34% of renters.
It tracks the Iredell County average of 4.2 closely.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
