Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sharpsburg
The score leans hardest on rent-control risk at 9.4/10. 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 Sharpsburg, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Edgecombe County average of 6.2 and above the North Carolina statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 404 eviction filings here over 7 tracked years, with about 18.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 20.9% of renter households in 2016.
In CDC survey modeling, about 14.8% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 10.4% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
