Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Forest Hills

30% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.4/10. 85% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

51% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Pitt County average of 39.3%. The poverty rate is 31%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against the Pitt County average of 5.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points. At $1,268 a month, rents run 26% over what the rest of Greenville commands. On the high side, economic stress reads 7.8/10.

The voucher gap is 15.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. That is riskier than roughly 86% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.7/10. Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 3.2 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $56,223.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
