Five Points Eviction Risk: Moderate , Rocky Mount

The poverty rate is 46%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.8/10. 49% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Nash County average of 35.3%.

Food insecurity runs 37.9% against 17.8% nationally. 25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. 75% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Disability prevalence runs 44.0% against 31.5% nationally. It sits 1.1 points above the Nash County average of 3.7.

Court records carry 2,185 eviction filings across 2 observed years. Average gross rent is $832, 13% below the Rocky Mount average. The worst year on record was 2002, when 118.4% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 113.2% of renter households face a filing.
