Wallace Creek is a one-tract neighborhood of Jacksonville, NC and houses 11,140 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4/10, in the Moderate tier. 100% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10. SNAP participation is 3.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. 3.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
That places it #7 of 7 neighborhoods in Jacksonville. The closest comparables inside the same city are Watkins Village and Camp Johnson.
One tract means one number: 4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
