Against the Iredell County average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points. Average gross rent is $1,338, 18% below the Mooresville average.
Food insecurity runs 8.5% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 5.9% against 15.2% nationally.
The filing record is not thin: 37 evictions over 3 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2002, when 6.0% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 4.2% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 15% 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.
