Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Birkdale

The filing record is not thin: 276 evictions over 4 years of observation. Food insecurity runs 9.4% against 17.8% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,491, 13% below the Cornelius average.
The worst year on record was 2016, when 5.3% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 4.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 35th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
