Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Kingwood Forest

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9/10. Set annual rent against average income of $45,197 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. It sits 1.5 points above the Wake County average of 4.0. Food insecurity runs 30.0% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 27.2% against 15.2% nationally. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $1,322, 16% below the Raleigh average. The filing record is not thin: 367 evictions over 2 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2016 at 14.6% of renter households. In a typical year about 15.3% of renter households face a filing.

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