Analysis
What drives eviction risk in North Hickory
30% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10.
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10.
Food insecurity runs 6.7% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 4.5% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Catawba County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.
Court records carry 104 eviction filings across 15 observed years. The voucher gap is 13.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. At $1,184 a month, rents run 11% over what the rest of Hickory commands.
Filings peaked in 2014 at 5.3% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.9% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
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.
