Statesville Eviction Risk: Lower

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.

Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 26 filings here across 3 tracked years. SNAP participation runs 7.0% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 10.0% against 17.8% nationally. Filings peaked in 2002 at 10.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 5.0% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #50,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $76,161, annual rent is just 16%. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
