Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Seahawk Village

89% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 61% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the New Hanover County average of 48.2%.

Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income of $32,462, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.7/10. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

At $1,053 a month, rents run 25% under what the rest of Wilmington commands. It sits 1.4 points above the New Hanover County average of 4.0.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8/10. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 7.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

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.
