Rosewood maps to a single census tract in Elizabeth City, NC, population 1,627. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.1/10, Moderate tier. 47% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Elizabeth City rate of 31.4%.
The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. This is a renter market: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Average gross rent is $934, 16% below the Elizabeth City average of $1,117. The filing record is not thin: 528 evictions logged in this tract.
Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.6/10. 14.2% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
SNAP participation is 23.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 19.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 8.5% in 2018, is well off that peak.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
