Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kings Mountain
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.3/10. Severe burden reaches 28%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

The poverty rate is 29%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 1.6 points above the Cleveland County average of 3.9. SNAP participation runs 26.9% against 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity runs 26.7% against 17.8% nationally. Court records carry 1,717 eviction filings across 16 observed years.
Average gross rent is $839, 13% below the Kings Mountain average. Filings peaked in 2015 at 15.8% of renter households. In a typical year about 14.5% of renter households face a filing.
