Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Greenville

The heaviest input here is economic stress at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Greenville eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Pitt County average of 6.2 and above the North Carolina statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 31.0% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 24.1% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

The tract is racially mixed and ranks around the 97th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
