Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Stockwood
The severe-burden share is 35%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The clearest offset is state political climate at 2.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10.
Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 784 evictions over 11 years of observation. Against the Buncombe County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points.
Filings peaked in 2010 at 10.6% of renter households. 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 7.6% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #34,278 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.7/10.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
