Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Benson
Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. Average gross rent is $710, 35% below the Benson average. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.9/10.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10. It sits 1.5 points above the Johnston County average of 4.1.
On the national scale it lands near the 73rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 23% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.5/10.
Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $61,408, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
