Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Albemarle
Severe burden reaches 34%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling hardest the other way is state political climate at 2.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10.
On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.5/10. Food insecurity runs 9.2% against 17.8% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 345 evictions over 11 years of observation.
SNAP participation runs 7.1% against 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,243, 11% below the Asheville average. The worst year on record was 2003, when 8.8% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Asheville. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 4.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #39,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
