Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Rockwood
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. 30% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Alamance County average of 40.3%.
On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 151 filings here across 17 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2003 at 6.0% of renter households.
In a typical year about 4.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 35% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 3.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $84,490, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Alamance County average of 3.7 closely.
