Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Brentwood

The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 8.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Tarboro, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Edgecombe County average of 6.2 and above the North Carolina statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,175 eviction filings here over 7 tracked years, with about 29.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 43.1% of renter households in 2017.

The tract is Black and Hispanic or Latino and ranks around the 86th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
