Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Belhaven
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.3/10. The voucher gap is 34.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 5.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 25th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
At 7% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
