Rocky Mount Eviction Risk: Lower

Cost burden runs 48% here against 35.3% across Nash County. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

Running cool, economic stress reads 2/10. The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

The filing record is not thin: 319 evictions over 2 years of observation. Against the Nash County average of 3.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points.

Average gross rent is $1,069, 12% above the Rocky Mount average. The worst year on record was 2003, when 62.0% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 61.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
