Asheville Eviction Risk: Moderate

At $1,009 a month, rents run 28% under what the rest of Asheville commands. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10. SNAP participation runs 26.3% against 15.2% nationally.

Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Court records carry 1,707 eviction filings across 11 observed years.

Adults with no health insurance runs 19.0% against 11.3% nationally. Filings peaked in 2004 at 25.0% of renter households.

In a typical year about 13.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 49% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 48% of renters.

It tracks the Buncombe County average of 4.1 closely.

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.
