Kannapolis Eviction Risk: Lower

Average gross rent is $2,057, 56% above the Kannapolis average. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.3/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.3/10. Food insecurity runs 7.9% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 5.3% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 0.9 points below the Cabarrus County average of 3.9. The filing record is not thin: 143 evictions over 15 years of observation.

The voucher gap is 12.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The worst year on record was 2009, when 15.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 9.2% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 10% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.2/10.

Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
