Benson Eviction Risk: Moderate

28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.9/10.

It sits 1.7 points above the Johnston County average of 4.1. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10. At $971 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Benson commands.

That is riskier than roughly 76% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $70,237, annual rent is just 17%. Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
