Hominy Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate
1 census tracts · pop 3,426 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.6/10 · range 5.6–5.6
Hominy Heights maps to a single census tract in Wilson, NC and houses 3,426 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 52% against 28.4% citywide, putting Hominy Heights 23.5% over its own city.
SNAP participation is 45.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 31.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
78% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 6,201 evictions logged in this tract. At $844 a month, rents sit 13% under what the rest of Wilson commands.
Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 72.6% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 24.9% in 2018, is well off that peak.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
