Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fayetteville

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 4.8/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Fayetteville eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Cumberland County average of 5.4 and in line with the North Carolina statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,974 eviction filings here over 16 tracked years, with about 24.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 16.9% of renter households in 2017.

In CDC survey modeling, about 18.0% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 12.3% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
