Brentwood Eviction Risk: Moderate , Tarboro

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Average gross rent is $569, 33% below the Tarboro average. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.

19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Cost burden runs 49% here against 41.8% across Edgecombe County. SNAP participation runs 26.4% against 15.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Court records carry 1,175 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The worst year on record was 2017, when 43.1% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 29.7% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 46% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.7/10. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $45,641, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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.
