Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mountain View
The score leans hardest on rent-control risk at 5.2/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Buncombe County average of 5.4 and below the North Carolina statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 616 eviction filings here over 11 tracked years, with about 8.6% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 10.4% of renter households in 2006.
