Rocky Mount Eviction Risk: Moderate

The heaviest input here is economic stress at 6.1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Rocky Mount eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Nash County average of 5.3 and above the North Carolina statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 120 eviction filings here over 2 tracked years, with about 20.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 21.5% of renter households in 2003.

In CDC survey modeling, about 18.8% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 13.5% 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.
