Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kenly
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 8.9/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Kenly, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below 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 safer side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 12.0% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 7.6% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 228 eviction filings here over 16 tracked years, with about 5.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 8.8% of renter households in 2005.
