Tanglewood is a one-tract quarter of Elizabeth City, NC and houses 7,105 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
At $1,382 a month, rents sit 24% over what the rest of Elizabeth City commands. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. The voucher gap is 15.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
The filing record is not thin: 413 evictions logged in this tract. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for roughly one in three of renter households.
The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 9.5% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 6.9% in 2018 against a 9.5% peak.
That places it #4 of 4 neighborhoods in Elizabeth City. The closest comparables inside the same city are Brookridge Terrace and Jethro Park.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
