Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mooresboro

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 552 filings here across 16 tracked years. 9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
The worst year on record was 2004, when 8.3% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 5.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #52,479 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
At 23% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 7.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $60,317, annual rent is just 16%.
