Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wind Oaks Town Homes
The clearest offset is state political climate at 2.3/10. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10.
The severe-burden share is 13%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. It sits 1.1 points above the Buncombe County average of 4.1.
Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.5/10. Court records carry 309 eviction filings across 11 observed years. 43% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Buncombe County average of 46.9%.
At $1,599 a month, rents run 14% over what the rest of Asheville commands. Filings peaked in 2002 at 12.1% of renter households.
This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 8.9% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
