Shinnwood West spans 3 census tracts of Wilmington, NC, population 8,484. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Against a Wilmington baseline of 33.7%, 45% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.4/10.
Severe burden reaches 13%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.8/10. SNAP participation is 6.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 8.8% of adults, 9.0 points below the national rate. Average gross rent is $1,235, 11% below the Wilmington average of $1,395. Only 21% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
For a like-for-like read, Seahawk Village and University Suites score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $105,181, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
