Analysis
What drives eviction risk in College Downs
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 4.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Mecklenburg County average of 5.5 and above the North Carolina statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 15.0% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 10.1% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 441 eviction filings here over 4 tracked years, with about 27.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 40.5% of renter households in 2005.
