Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Clayton

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.3/10. This is renter territory: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.8/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

SNAP participation runs 24.7% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 26.4% against 17.8% nationally. At $1,505 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Clayton commands.

That is riskier than roughly 44% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 8.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Johnston County average of 4.1 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.
