Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Pinetops
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at $1/10. 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 Pinetops, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below 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 safer side for landlords.
The tract is White and Black and ranks around the 78th 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.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 195 eviction filings here over 7 tracked years, with about 5.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 9.6% of renter households in 2018.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
