Five Points Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 2,892 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.6/10 · range 5.5–5.6

Five Points takes in 2 census tracts of Wilson, NC and houses 2,892 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Wilson baseline of 28.4%, 49% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

SNAP participation is 49.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The severe-burden share is 32%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Set annual rent against average household income of $30,687 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. This is a renter market: 65% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Running hot is economic stress at 8/10. 23.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10. Court records carry 5,615 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.

Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 90.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 24.3% in 2018, is well off that peak.

Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Wilson, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

With little internal variation, 5.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
