Ocean Isle Beach Eviction Risk: Lower

What moves this score most is economic stress at 2.7/10. 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 Ocean Isle Beach, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Brunswick County average of 4.9 and below the North Carolina statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 87 eviction filings here over 7 tracked years, with about 8.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 28.8% of renter households in 2003.

In CDC survey modeling, about 6.2% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 4.3% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
