Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Harmony
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 6.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Iredell County average of 5.1 and below the North Carolina statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 54 eviction filings here over 3 tracked years, with about 12.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 20.4% of renter households in 2002.
In CDC survey modeling, about 13.0% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 8.7% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
