Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Pisgah View
The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10.
Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.5/10. Court records carry 1,832 eviction filings across 11 observed years.
Against the Buncombe County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.6 points. The worst year on record was 2003, when 43.8% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 26.2% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #37,882 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Social vulnerability reads 5.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. 43% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
