Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Gresham Hills

Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. 36% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Wake County average of 42.7%.

Food insecurity runs 6.1% against 17.8% nationally. Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

It sits 1.0 points below the Wake County average of 4.0. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 281 filings here across 2 tracked years. Housing insecurity runs 6.1% against 14.2% nationally.

Filings peaked in 2016 at 23.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 19.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 24% 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.

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.
