Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Saluda
The heaviest input here is rent-control risk at 9.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Saluda, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Henderson County average of 4.8 and below the North Carolina statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 47th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 125 eviction filings here over 15 tracked years, with about 3.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 6.8% of renter households in 2014.
