Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Knox Cove

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. Food insecurity runs 39.4% against 17.8% nationally.

Running hot, economic stress reads 9.5/10. At $812 a month, rents run 39% under what the rest of Jacksonville commands.

The poverty rate is 38%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Against the Onslow County average of 4.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.1 points. This is renter territory: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $29,792, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.1/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 4,989 filings here across 18 tracked years.

Adults with no health insurance runs 18.5% against 11.3% nationally. The worst year on record was 2001, when 39.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 23.8% of renter households face a filing.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
