Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Piedmont Heights
The score leans hardest on economic stress at $1/10. 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 Burlington eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Alamance County average of 5.2 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 2,058 eviction filings here over 17 tracked years, with about 15.6% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 16.5% of renter households in 2015.
The tract is Hispanic or Latino and Black and ranks around the 95th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
