Wilson Eviction Risk: Moderate

What moves this score most is economic stress at 9.9/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Wilson eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Wilson County average of 6.3 and above the North Carolina statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 31.1% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 24.9% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 6,225 eviction filings here over 16 tracked years, with about 53.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 103.3% of renter households in 2003.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
