Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Tarawa Terrace I

The severe-burden share is 31%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. 94% 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.

Set annual rent against average income of $41,763 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Against the Onslow County average of 4.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.1 points. The poverty rate is 29%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

50% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Onslow County average of 40.8%. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10. The voucher gap is 18.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.6/10. On the national scale it lands near the 84th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.1/10. Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 2.8 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,360, close to the Jacksonville average.

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.
