Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wrightsboro

At $635 a month, rents run 49% under what the rest of Wrightsboro commands. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8/10. The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10.

11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 0.8 points above the New Hanover County average of 4.0. Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 14% 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 7.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $72,930, annual rent is just 10%.

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.
