Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kings Mountain
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9/10. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8.9/10.
Cost burden runs 48% here against 38.8% across Cleveland County. The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Against the Cleveland County average of 3.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points.
The filing record is not thin: 543 evictions over 16 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2002 at 21.9% of renter households. In a typical year about 8.0% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 20% 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.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
