Analysis

What drives eviction risk in McKenzie

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. 31% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Wake County average of 42.7%.

24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.2/10. It sits 0.9 points below the Wake County average of 4.0.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 38 filings here across 2 tracked years. SNAP participation runs 7.0% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 9.7% against 17.8% nationally. Filings peaked in 2015 at 7.2% of renter households.

In a typical year about 7.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #65,414 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.7/10. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $117,789, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
