Wilmington Eviction Risk: Moderate

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 73% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8/10.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.3/10. At $1,625 a month, rents run 16% over what the rest of Wilmington commands. Court records carry 522 eviction filings across 12 observed years.

Against New Hanover County at 48.2%, 52% of renters here are cost-burdened. The worst year on record was 2006, when 12.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 5.8% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 51st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
