· range 4.4–5.4
Seahawk Village spans 3 census tracts of Wilmington, NC, population 11,495. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.1/10, Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 51%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Set annual rent against average household income of $29,188 and the ratio lands at 74%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Against a Wilmington baseline of 33.7%, 69% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Average gross rent is $1,797, 29% above the Wilmington average of $1,395. The poverty rate is 28%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.4 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
The filing record is not thin: 106 evictions logged in this tract. The voucher gap is 13.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 3.1% of renter households. On the high side is economic stress at 7/10.
The most recent observed rate, 0.7% in 2018, is well off that peak. 52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
