Analysis
What drives eviction risk in The Boardwalk
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 8.1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Gaston County average of 5.5 and above the North Carolina statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 12.0% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 8.0% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 300 eviction filings here over 12 tracked years, with about 6.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 6.9% of renter households in 2014.
