Jethro Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,830 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.9/10 · range 4.9–4.9

Jethro Park maps to a single census tract in Elizabeth City, NC, population 3,830. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. 45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Elizabeth City rate of 31.4%.

25% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. At $893 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of Elizabeth City commands. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

The filing record is not thin: 1,040 evictions logged in this tract. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.5/10.

The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 27.6% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 8.9% in 2018, is well off that peak. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Elizabeth City, it ranks #2 by risk, the middle third.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $50,665.

50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 4.9/10 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.
