Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lakewood
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.4/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.1/10.
Against the Gaston County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. Food insecurity runs 8.7% against 17.8% nationally.
SNAP participation runs 6.2% against 15.2% nationally. The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
The filing record is not thin: 75 evictions over 12 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2016 at 11.5% of renter households. In a typical year about 6.2% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 6% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
