Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tarawa Terrace I
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 9.7/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Onslow County average of 5.3 and above the North Carolina statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 20.7% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 14.4% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,709 eviction filings here over 18 tracked years, with about 12.3% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 21.4% of renter households in 2016.
